Approximate the distance between (-6,5) and (-4, -6) to the nearest tenth

Colby and jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the number of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. jaquan starts with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours. let x equal number of days. colbys experiment follows the model: a.) y=50*2^x b.) y=50*2^8x c.) y=50*2^12x jaquans experiment follows the model: a.)80*2^x b.)80*2^8x c.)80*2^12x

Abouncy ball is released from a certain height. on the first bounce, it travels 32cm. with each subsequent bounce, it travels 9/10 the distance of the previous bounce. what is the total distance that the ball has traveled when it completes its 25th bounce?

This is my question~~ ( r ^ 4 - 2r ^ 3 - 23 r ^ 2 - 4r - 32)÷(r+4) ~~ i must use long division to solve it : / i was wondering if anyone world like to solve it. and if so, share step-by-step explanations! you! ❤
