Dr. Silas studies a culture of bacteria under a microscope. The function b_1 (t) = 1200 (1.8)^t t b t = represents the number of bacteria t hours after Dr. Silas begins her study. (a) What does the value 1200 represent in this situation? (b) What does the value 1.8 represent in this situation? (c) The number of bacteria in a second study is modeled by the function b_2 (t) =1000 (1.8)^t What does the value of 1000 represent in this situation? What does the difference of 1200 and 1000 mean between the two studies?

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
