The students came up with different answers. Monique said the answer is 35*F , And Matt said the answer is 25*F. Who is correct?

Hye ryung is the president of the local chapter of the american medical students association (amsa). she is organizing local outreach and informational meetings. at her first meeting there are five people present (including herself). every month after that her group grows by 5 people. a. how many members are in the group after 6 months? b. the logistics of hosting and feeding her group at meetings was more complicated than expected. the cost of feeding 5 people at her first meeting was $30, for 10 people it was $35, for 15 it was $45, and after 6 months all of the costs had added up to $100. write a function to model the cost with the number of people attending meetings. c. what connections can you make between the linear growth of the group’s membership and the increasing costs of running meetings?

For what value of x does 4x = (1/8) x + 5?

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria. the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time. create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.
