The table shows the predicted growth of particular bacterium after various numbers of hours. write an explicit formula for the sequence of the number of bacterium.

what is the 12th term of the sequence 15, 11, 7, …?

D

-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

In the first hour, the number of bacteria is 22

In the second hour,the number of bacteria is 44

It looks like the formula is some multiple of 22

That means you should pick D

Problem 2

n = 12

a = 15

d = - 4

an= 15 + (n - 1)*d

a12 = 15 + 11*(-4)

a12 = 15 - 44

a12 = - 29

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

probability for j is 1/4

while

a is 1/6
