In a lab experiment, 2400 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 19 hours. How long would it be, to the nearest tenth of an hour, until there are 3300 bacteria present?

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

hello 0xxbadwolfxx0,

2.6 x 10^9 is 2,600,000,000.

1.3 x 10^2 is 130

multiplying 130 and 2,600,000,000 would simply give you 200,000,000,000.

therefore, the answer would be d. 2.0 × 10^11.

i hope i ! warm regards, mae.
