Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 110,000 to 300 in 18 hours. At this rate of decay, how many bacteria will there be in 14 hours? Round to the nearest whole number.

7

step-by-step explanation:

yuo ned the activity or vertical angle of the form of 1,7 but 2,2 has a c4,2 as it verticie so i not have a car

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
