A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before treatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?

f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0
f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0
f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0
f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is modeled after

[tex]y=a(b)^x[/tex] where a is the initial amount and b is the growth/decay factor. If we start with 5000 bacteria, then a = 5000. The decay factor is determined by the rate at which the bacteria decrease. We know that rate at which the bacteria decrease is 60% because 40% are left alive; therefore, b = .4:

[tex]f(x)=5000(.4)^x[/tex] with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0, the first choice.

Answer 2

The function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment can be written as f(x) = 5000(0.4)ˣ

What is a function?

A relation is a function if it has only One y-value for each x-value.

Given that 40% of the sample remains alive, which means that the number of live bacteria is decreasing exponentially over time.

The base of the exponential function is 0.4, as 40% can be written as 0.4. The initial population of bacteria is 5000, so we multiply the base by 5000 to get the total number of live bacteria after x days.

The graph of this function will have a horizontal asymptote of y = 0, since the number of live bacteria will approach zero as time goes on.

f(x) = 5000(0.4)ˣ is the function represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment

Hence, option A is correct, f(x) = 5000(0.4)ˣ with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST OR WHATEVER NEEDED ASAP

Answers

Answer:

A. 75.40 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of cylinder (d) = 4 m

Radius (r) = ½(d) = ½(4) = 2 m

Height (h) = 3 × r = 3 × 2 = 6 m

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Substitute the values

Volume of cylinder = π*2²*6

Volume of cylinder = π*4*6

Volume = π*24

Volume = 75.40 m³

ef is the median of trapezoid abcd (please explain the answer im so confused lol)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so...

The Median of a trapezoid is directly in the middle. For some weird mathimatical reason you won't ever need to know unless it's on an exam or you become a math major, its midsegment is the average of the top length and the bottom length.

In other words,

EF = ( BC + AD ) / 2

So for part 1, we can use that equation to find x.

[tex]EF = ( BC + AD ) / 2[/tex]

Insert known equations.

[tex]4x-18=[(x+12)+(3x-4)]/2[/tex]

Simplify within parentheses.

[tex]4x-18=[x+12+3x-4]/2[/tex]

[tex]4x-18=[x+3x+12-4]/2[/tex]

Add.

[tex]4x-18=[4x+8]/2[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]4x-18=2x+4[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex](4x-2x) +(-18+18)=(2x-2x)+(4+18)[/tex]

[tex]2x=22[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x=11[/tex]

Part 2 is a lot easier now. All we have to do is plug in 11 for x.

[tex]BC =x+12[/tex]

[tex]BC = 11+12[/tex]

[tex]BC = 23[/tex]

-

[tex]AD = 4x-18[/tex]

[tex]AD = 4(11)-18[/tex]

[tex]AD = 44-18[/tex]

[tex]AD = 26[/tex]

-

[tex]EF = 3x-4[/tex]

[tex]EF = 3(11)-4[/tex]

Use inductive reasoning to predict the next three numbers in the pattern.

Predict the next three numbers in the pattern.

Answers

Answer:

the next 3 numbers in the pattern are 1/27 , 1/81. , and 1/243

Step-by-step explanation:

to go from 9 to 3 you either have to subtract 6 or divide by 3. if you subtract 6 it doesn't match with the numbers. if you divide by 3 it matches. you can multiply 1/9 by 1/3 or divide by 3. it end with the same answer

We have that The Next 3 patterns are

1/27,1/81,1/243

From the Question we are told that

Pattern. 9 ,3 ,1 ,1/3, 1/9

Generally

Using in inductive reasoning the pattern progresses as a function of  dividing by 3

Therefore

The next three number are

[tex]x_1=\frac{1/9}{3}\\\\x_1=1/27[/tex]

[tex]x_2=\frac{1/27}{3}\\\\x_2=1/81[/tex]

For the first one, simplify the radicals. The 3 root 8 can be rewritten as 3 root 4 root 2, which turns into 6 root 2. The 4 root 3 can’t be simplified, so just multiply. 6*4=24 and the root 2*root 3 turns into root 6. So your answer for the first one is 24 root 6.

For the next one you can’t have a radical in the denominator so just multiply by root 3/ root 3, which gives you 6 root 3/3 which simplifies into 2 root 3.

Find two numbers whose sum is sixty eight and whose difference is twenty two

Answers

Answer:

45 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x equal the first number and y equal the second number.

We can set the following equations up with our information:

[tex]x+y=68[/tex]

[tex]x-y=22[/tex]

Adding the two equations together, we get:

[tex]2x=90[/tex]

Dividing by two, we receive [tex]x=45[/tex]

We can plug this into our first equation to get [tex]45+y=68[/tex].

Subtracting 45 from both sides, we get [tex]y=23[/tex].

The two numbers are 45 and 23, solved using system of equations.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is a set of equations, involving similar variables used to solve for the variables simultaneously.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are asked to find the two numbers, whose sum is 68 and the difference is 22.

We assume the two numbers to be x and y.

The sum of the two numbers is given to be 68.

This can be shown as an equation, x + y = 68 ... (i).

The difference of the two numbers is given to be 22.

This can be shown as an equation, x - y = 22 ... (ii).

Equations (i) and (ii) together makes a system of equation in the variables x and y.

To solve for the system of equation, we add (i) and (ii), to get:

x + y = 68

x - y = 22

_________

2x  = 90,

or, x = 45.

Substituting x = 45 in (i), we get:

x + y = 68,

or, 45 + y = 68,

or, y = 23.

Thus, the two numbers are 45 and 23, solved using system of equations.

Salvador reads 12 books from the library each month for n months in a row. Write an expression to show how many books Salvador read in all. Then, find the number of books Salvador read if he read for 7 months.

Answers

Answers:

The expression is 12n

He reads 84 books in 7 months

==================================================

Explanation:

For 1 month, he has read 12*1 = 12 books

For 2 months, he has read 12*2 = 24 books

For 3 months, he has read 12*3 = 36 books

and so on

If we let n represent the number of months, then 12*n or 12n represents the number of books read after n months. The variable n is some placeholder for a positive whole number.

If we replaced n with say n = 7, then 12*n = 12*7 = 84 books are read in 7 months.

Salvador reads 12 books each months so for n months he reads 12n books. In 7 months, n=7, so he reads 12*7 which is 84 books
