What is the value of n such that 81^n = 9^(27) * 27^9?

$81^n~~ = ~~9^{27}\cdot 27^9\qquad \begin{cases} 81=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\ \qquad 3^4\\ 9=3\cdot 3\\ \qquad 3^2\\ 27=3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\ \qquad 3^3 \end{cases}\implies (3^4)^n~~ = ~~(3^2)^{27}\cdot (3^3)^9 \\\\\\ 3^{4n}~~ = ~~3^{2\cdot 27}\cdot 3^{3\cdot 9}\implies 3^{4n}~~ = ~~3^{54}\cdot 3^{27}\implies 3^{4n}~~ = ~~3^{54+27} \\\\\\ 3^{4n}~~ = ~~3^{81}\implies 4n=81\implies n=\cfrac{81}{4}\implies n=20\frac{1}{4}$

Bacteria X has a relative growth rate of 160 % (under ideal conditions). Some bacteria X are accidentally introduced into some e

Answer:

6866, 71995

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume it has a growth rate of 160% per hour.

Anyways, since after four hours, there were 45,000 Bacteria X in the egg salad, we can write the following function:

$B(h)=P(1.6)^h$ , where P represents the initial amount, B(h) represents the total, and h represents the number of hours that has passed. The 1.6 represents the 160% growth rate per hour.

We already know that four hours has passed when the population is 45,000, thus:

$45000=P(1.6)^4$

$P=45000/(1.6)^4$

$P\approx6866.46\approx6866$

So the initial population is around 6866.

After five hours, the number of bacteria will be:

$B(5)=6866(1.6)^5\approx71995$
