The growth of the bacteria is represented by the exponential growth equation. Given the initial population, the four-fold increase, and the time interval for the increase, we can find the population after any given time by using the equation P = 200 * 4^(t/2.5).
The problem given is an example of an exponential growth problem. For these types of problems, we use the formula P = P0 * e^(kt), where P is the final population, P0 is the initial population, k is the growth rate, and t is time. However, in this case, we were given that the bacteria quadruples, meaning 'quadrupling' is not a continuous rate, so we use a slightly different form of the equation: P = P0 * (b)^(t/t0), where b is the times increase and t0 is the time interval for the b-fold increase.
Given that the initial population P0 is 200 bacteria, b is 4 because the population quadruples every 150 minutes, and time t0 is 150 minutes or 2.5 hours. We need to find the population P after t hours. Substituting these values into our equation gives us: P = 200 * 4^(t/2.5).
So, after t hours, the population of the bacteria will be given by the equation P = 200 * 4^(t/2.5).

Answer-
The line equation is,
Solution-
The line meets x-axis at the point M, i.e M is the x-intercept of this line. At the x-intercept y=0, so
So, coordinate of M is
The line meets y-axis at point N, i.e N is the y-intercept of this line. At the y-intercept x=0, so
So, coordinate of N is
The line joining M and N can be found out by applying two point formula of straight line,
As it is given that all the coefficients are integers, so multiplying with 3
Solution: As given line y =3x-5 meet x-axis at the point M.
On x axis y coordinate is zero.
Put y =0 in above equation, we get →x = 5/3
∴ Coordinate of M is (5/3,0).
As, also given , line 3y+2x=2 meets y-axis at point N.
On y axis , x coordinate is zero.
Substituting , x=0 in above equation, gives y =2/3.
Coordinate of point N is (0,2/3).
Equation of line passing through two points (a,b) and (p,q) is given by
→
Or as X intercept = 5/3, and Y intercept = 2/3
Equation of line in intercept form is →, where a and b is X intercept and y intercept respectively.
So, line passing through (5/3,0) and (0,2/3) is given by
→
→
→ 6 x + 15 y =10 [Taking LCM of 5 and 2 which is 10]
→ 6 x + 15 y -10=0, which is equation of the line joining M and N in the form ax + by + c = 0 where: a,b,c are integers.
The graph of y = (3/8)x - 5 and y = (3/8)x + 2 are parallel since both graphs have the same slope.
The equation of a line is given by:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.
Example:
The slope of the line y = 2x + 3 is 2.
The slope of a line that passes through (1, 2) and (2, 3) is 1.
We have,
The graph of two equations is parallel if the slope of each of the equations is the same.
The two equations are:
y = (3/8)x - 5 _____(1)
y = (3/8)x + 2 _____(2)
This is in the form of y = mx + c
Where m is the slope.
Now,
From (1 ) and (2) we see that,
m = 3/8
Thus,
The graphs are parallel.
