Suppose that a population of bacteria triples every hour and starts with 700 bacteria.
(a) Find an expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours.
(b) Estimate the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

(b) The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is one in which the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:

f(x)=aˣ

being a real positive.

When 0 <a <1, then the exponential function is a decreasing function and when a> 1, it is an increasing function.

An exponential function allows us to refer to phenomena that grow faster and faster, such as population growth.

In that case, the formula used to model the growth of a population is given by:

P(t)=P0*[tex]a^{t}[/tex]

where the function P (t) grows exponentially and represents the quantity of the population at time t; a represents the constant of growth or decrease and P0 represents the initial population at time zero.

In this case:

P0=700a=3

Replacing, you get:

P(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

The derivative of this function P (t) is:

n'(t)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

and reflects the growth rate of the bacteria population.

So, the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is:

n(1.5)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{1.5}[/tex]

Solving, you get:

n(1.5)≅ 3,996

The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Answers

Answer:

Minimum of 7 1/2 hours ( 7 hours, and 30 minutes )

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate = money / time

time = money / rate

_____________

1 month = 4 weeks

1 week = 7 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

_____________

$15 / 1 hour = 1 day / 24 hours = 1 week / 7 days = 1 month / 4 weeks = $450 / 1 month.

$15 / 1 hour / 1 week = $450 / 1 month

$15 / 1 hour / 1 week = $450 / 4 weeks

$15 / 1 hour / 1 week = $112.5 / 1 week

$15 / 1 hour = $112.5

112.5 / 15 = 7.5 hours.

There were 5 ice cream cones for every 3 brownies sold at the ice cream shop. If there were 24 brownies sold, how many ice cream cones were sold?

Answers

Answer:

THe answere is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

If 24 brownies are sold, the number of ice cream cones sold is 40.

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b;

where y, x is variable, m is the rate of change and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the number of ice cream cones and x represent the number of brownies sold.

Since there were 5 ice cream cones for every 3 brownies sold at the ice cream shop. Hence:

y = (5/3)x

If 24 brownies are sold:

y = (5/3)x

y = (5/3) * 24 = 40

If 24 brownies are sold, the number of ice cream cones sold is 40.

Answers

Complete Question:

The temperature doubled.  Evaluate when t = 32 degrees.

The value of the expression when t = 32 degrees is  degrees

Answer:

64 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]t = 32[/tex]

Required

Determine the value of t when it doubles

To do this, we simply multiply the current temperature by 2.

So:

[tex]t = 32[/tex] becomes

[tex]t = 32 * 2[/tex]

[tex]t = 64[/tex]

Hence, the temperature when it doubles is 64 degrees

don't know what I was thinking
Leaving my child behind
Now I suffer the curse
Knowing now I am blind
With all this anger, guilt and sadness
Coming to haunt me forever
I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river
Is this revenge I am seeking
Or seeking someone to avenge me
Stuck in my own paradox
I wanna set myself free
Maybe I should chase and find
Before they'll try to stop it
It won't be long before I'll become a puppet
It's been so long
Since I last have seen my son
Lost to this monster
To the man behind the slaughter
Since you've been gone
I've been singing this stupid song
So I could ponder
The sanity of your mother
I wish I lived in the present
With the gift of my past mistakes
But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes
Your sweet little eyes
Your little smile, is all I remember
Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper
Justification is killing me
But killing isn't justified
What happened to my son, I'm terrified
It lingers in my mind
And the thought keeps on getting bigger
I'm sorry my sweet baby
I wish I've been there

Solve the given system of equations utilizing either the substitution or addition method.

Answers

Answer:

Value of x=4 and y=-13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the systems of equations

[tex]5x+3y=7 \ and \ \frac{3}{2}x-\frac{3}{4}y =9\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Solving using substitution method:

Let:

[tex]5x+3y=7---eq(1) \\ \frac{3}{2}x-\frac{3}{4}y =9\frac{1}{4}---eq(2)[/tex]

Find value of x from eq(1) and put in eq(2)

[tex]5x+3y=7\\5x=7-3y\\x=\frac{7-3y}{5}[/tex]

Put value of x in eq(2)

[tex]\frac{3}{2}(\frac{7-3y}{5}) -\frac{3}{4}y =\frac{37}{4}\\\frac{21-9y}{10} -\frac{3}{4}y =\frac{37}{4}\\Taking \ LCM\\\frac{21*2-9y*2-3y*5}{20} =\frac{37}{4}\\\frac{42-18y-15y}{20} =\frac{37}{4}\\42-33y=\frac{37}{4}*20\\42-33y=185\\-33y=185-42\\-33y=143\\y=\frac{143}{-33}\\y=-\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

Now, finding value of x by putting value of y in eq(1)

[tex]x=\frac{7-3y}{5}\\x= \frac{7-3(-\frac{13}{3}) }{5}\\x=\frac{7+13}{5}\\x=\frac{20}{5}\\x=4[/tex]

So, Value of x=4 and y=-13/3

Which of the expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that

A. (16. 1) + (3.16)
B. (3 + 1). 16
D C. (16 + 3). 1
D. (161) + (163)

Answers

ok so 16.(1+3) = 16 . 4 = 64 so let's solve them A = (16 . 1) + (3 . 16) .. here it's right because we split the 6 on each number ... if you want a prove solve it (16 . 1 ) + (3 . 16 ) = 64 B = (3+1) . 16 = 4 . 16 = 64C = (16 +3) . 1 = 19 . 1 = 19 D = 161 + 163 = 324

so A & B = 64 .... so yeah right A & B are the correct answers

Please help, this chapter was on derivatives...

Answers

Answer:  ds/dt = 11

================================================

Work Shown:

Before we can use derivatives, we need to find the value of s when (x,y) = (15,20)

s^2 = x^2+y^2

s^2 = 15^2+20^2

s^2 = 225+400

s^2 = 625

s = sqrt(625)

s = 25

-----------

Now we can apply the derivative to both sides to get the following.  Don't forget to use the chain rule.

s^2 = x^2 + y^2

d/dt[s^2] = d/dt[x^2 + y^2]

d/dt[s^2] = d/dt[x^2] + d/dt[y^2]

2s*ds/dt = 2x*dx/dt + 2y*dy/dt

2(25)*ds/dt = 2(15)*5 + 2(20)*(10)

50*ds/dt = 150 + 400

50*ds/dt = 550

ds/dt = 550/50

ds/dt = 11

-----------

Answer:

1. Rational Number

2. Irrational Number

3. Terminating Decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

A Rational Number can be written as a ratio of two integers. For example, as a simple fraction. That leaves us for the answer to the second one as irrational. To terminate means to end, so a terminating decimal is a decimal that does not go on forever. Whereas, a repeating decimal continues repeating forever (or indefinitely).

The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2. and if it's positive, the opposite is negative.

The reciprocal of any number or fraction is whatever you multiply it by to get 1.  4 times 1/4 is  1  5/4 times 4/5 is 1.  What about 1 ?  1 times 1 is 1. So one is its own reciprocal!
