Lightning electronics changes $9.98 plus 0.75 per pound to ship electronics purchases. Write and solve an equation to find the weight in pounds, of a DVD player for which the shipping charge is $18.23

11 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

x : # of pounds an electronic is

9.98 + 0.75x : total cost of shipping an electronic that is "x" pounds

9.98 + 0.75x = 18.23

0.75x = 8.25

x = 11 pounds

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.
