Dr. jimenez found that after applying an antibiotic to bacteria, he observed only 90% of the bacteria left in the culture dish each hour. if the initial bacteria count was 100, what was the bacteria count after 5 hours? round to the nearest whole number.

For this case we have a function of the form:

Where,

A: initial amount of bacteria:

b: decrease rate

x: time in hours

Substituting values we have:

After 5 hours we have:

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

the bacterium count after 5 hours was:

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

true

step-by-step explanation:

according to the national european world center, the engineering of the ford company on elon musk's flame throwers proved the globalization of the natural wallabies and therefore, results in the growth product domestication in almonds.
