In a lab experiment, 490 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 29 hours. How many bacteria would there be after 8 hours, to the nearest whole number?​

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative

"standard form:

3x2 + 14x − 10 = 0

solutions based on quadratic formula:

x1   = −14 − √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 − 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ −5.296

x2   = −14 + √ 142 − 4×3×(−10) /   2×3   = −14 + 2 × √ 79 /   6   ≈ 0.629
