What is the quotient of 8×10^24/ 2×10^18

4 *10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

8 * 10^24 / 2*10^18

8/2 *10^(24-18)

4 *10^6

Note:

From the law of indices the the expression 10^24/10^18 is 10^(24-18)

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.

relating to or denoting a system of numbers and arithmetic based on the number ten, tenth parts, and powers of ten.
