This is the concept of exponential growth, To get the number of bacteria after 10 days we use the formula:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where;
a=initial number=5000
k=constant of proportionality= 0.04
t=time=10 days
f(t)=future number
thus the number of bacteria in 10 days will be:
f(t)=5000e^(0.04*10)
f(t)=7,459.12
The answer is 7,459.12

We know that the culture of bacteria has 5,000 bacteria today.
Also : p = 4 %  = 0.04, and t = 10 ( 10 days from now )
The formula is:
A = P * ( 1 + p )^t
A = 5,000 * ( 1 + 0.04 ) ^10
A = 5,000 * 1.04^10
A = 5,000 * 1.48
A = 7,401
Answer: There will be 7,401 bacteria.

Answer:

28.1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can answer questions like this by working backwards.

To do this we can divide 78.2 by 2 and that gets us 39.1

Now we have to subtract 11 from it and that gets us our final answer:

28.1

PLEASE HELP!! will give brainliest
frutty [35]
A:
Table 1:
f(x) = 8x
X= cups so
ounces =
8* # of cups
Table 2:
f(x) =16x
X= pints so
ounces =
16*# of pints
Table 3:
f(x)= 32x
X= quarts so
ounces=
32*# of quarts
Note: another way instead of f(x)=kx is y=kx
B:
Depending on the slope we can easily find which is the steepest slope by easily comparing the slopes and seeing which is greater.
T1: 8
T2: 16
T3: 32
So, looking at our slopes, table 3 has the greatest slope because it has the greater slope out of the other two.
C:
The phrase, "rate of change" is another way to say the slope. To list again,
T1: 8
T2: 16
T3: 32
The table with the smallest slope would be table 1 since it is less than the other two tables.

I hope that helps, if you need any more assistance or you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!

13 + k3= 11 Show work pls
zaharov [31]
13+3k=11
-Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3k=11-13

Calculate the difference
3k=-2
Divide both sides by 3
K= -2/3
