Jen, a biologist, is growing bacterial cultures at different temperatures as part of her research. The number of cells in the culture growing at 25 °C is given by the polynomial t^2 + 4t + 4, where t is the time elapsed in minutes. The number of cells in the second culture growing at 35°C is modeled by the polynomial t^2 + 4. She needs to measure the sSuccess of the 25 °C culture over the 35 °C culture. Find the polynomial representing how many more cells are in the 25 °C culture for time t. How many more cells are there after 15 minutes?

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.

answer:

at time x=0 we have 1000, at time x=1 we have 2000, at time x=2 we have 4000.  

so that's an initial value of 1000 and a ratio of 2,

y = 1000 (2^x)

hope this !

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16
