A population of a particular yeast cell develops with a constant relative growth rate of 0.4425 per hour. The initial population

consists of 3.1 million cells. Find the population size (in millions of cells) after 3 hours. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The exponential function is often used to model the growth or decay of a population

The population size of the yeast cell after 3 hours is 6.24 million

The given parameters are:

a = 3.1M --- initial number of cells

r = 0.4425 per hour --- rate

The nth term of an exponential function is:

f(n) = a(1+r)^n-1

After 3 hours; n = 3

So, we have:

f(3) = a(1+r)^3-1

Substitute values for a and r

f(3) = 3.1 (1+0.4425)^3-1

f(3) = 3.1 ( 1.4425)^2

f(3) = 6.24

Hence, the population size of the yeast cell after 3 hours is 6.24 million.

Please solve the equation<br> X^2+3x+3=0
Degger [83]
<u>x² + 3x + 3 = 0</u>

I can tell by looking that there's no easy way to factor the left side,
so we'll have to use the Quadratic formula.

Before doing that, let's just take a look at the discriminant:

( B² - 4AC ) = (9) - (4 x 3 x 1) = (9 - 12) = -3 .
The discriminant is negative, so we know that the roots will be complex conjugates.

Again:  <u>x² + 3x + 3 = 0</u>

x = (1/2) [ -3 plus or minus the square root of (-3) ]

<u>x = -3/2 + (1/2) j√3</u>
and
<u>x = - 3/2 - (1/2) j√3</u>

Daniel buys a new car.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of the car at the end of the first year = £9680

Depreciation = 12 %

Original price = £ x

If we reduce 12% of original price from x, we will get £9680

x - 12% of x  = £ 9680

x-\frac{12}{100}x=9680\\\\\\\frac{88}{100}x=9680\\\\x=9680*\frac{100}{88}\\\\x = 11000

Original price  = £ 11000
