Using an exponential function, it is found that the multiplier that would allow you to predict the population of bacteria after 2 hours is of 9.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is modeled by:

y = ab^x

In which:

  • a is the initial value.
  • b is the growth rate.

In this problem, the bacteria triples every hour, hence the rate of change is b = 3, and the equation is:

y = a(3)^x

Hence, after 2 hours:

y = a(3)^2 = 9a

Which means that the multiplier is of 9.

Which of the answer choices could be the one missing data item for the following set, if the mode is 12?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, what is mode: it is the highest occuring number in a set of numbers.

now since 12 is supposed to be the mean and it occurs twice but 9 also occurs twice so for 12 to be the mode, we must add one more 12.

therefore the answer is 12

Assume the radius of an atom, which can be represented as a hard sphere, is r  1.95 Å.The atom is placed in a ( a ) simple cubi
vlada-n [284]

Answer: Simple cubic=0.39nm

Face centred cubic

=0.55nm

Body centered cubic

=0.45nm

Diamond lattice= 0.9nm

Step-by-step explanation: The lattice constant (a)

for SC=2*r

Fcc=4*r/√2

Bcc= 4*r/√3

Diamond lattice=8*r/√3

Here,

r is the atomic radius measured in nm

r = 1.95Å * 1nm/10Å

=0.195nm

Now let's calculate (a)

SC = 2*r = 2*0.195 nm=0.39nm

Fcc = 4*r/√2 =4*0.195nm/√2

= 0.55nm

Bcc = 4*r/√3 =4*0.195nm/√3

= 0.45nm

Diamond lattice = 8*r/√3

=8*0.195nm/√3

= 0.9nm
