The table shows the predicted growth of particular bacterium after various numbers of hours. write an explicit formula for the sequence of the number of bacterium.

what is the 12th term of the sequence 15, 11, 7, …?

D

-29

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

In the first hour, the number of bacteria is 22

In the second hour,the number of bacteria is 44

It looks like the formula is some multiple of 22

That means you should pick D

Problem 2

n = 12

a = 15

d = - 4

an= 15 + (n - 1)*d

a12 = 15 + 11*(-4)

a12 = 15 - 44

a12 = - 29

step-by-step explanation:

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001420

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001448

white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001005

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001037

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497

could u provide us some answer choices or hmm idk maybe a table for us to anser with ? ?
