In a lab experiment, 2000 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 23 hours. How many bacteria would there be after 26 hours, to the nearest whole number?

4,261

Step-by-step explanation:

after 23 hours, the number of bacteria =

4,000.

so, after 26 hours = 4,000+ (3/23 ×4000)

= 4,000 + 261 = 4,261

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
