A colony of amoebas is being studied. The mass of the colony triples every day. On Day x of the study, the
colony has a mass of 3^x mg.
a. What is the mass of the colony on Days 3, 2, and 1?
What is the mass of the colony on Day 0, when the
study begins? Show your work.

Multiply the start amount of the insects by 3 and then by the amount of days

8+10

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 4 by 2 and 5 by 2

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
