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.

∠D = ∠B

∠A = ∠E

△ABC and △EDC are similar because they have the same angles.

stepladder [879]

This is the function

{2x}^{2}  - 2 {x}^{1}  + 12

Then factor 2 out

2(x^2- x + 6) = 0

Divide both side by two and use the quadratic formula to get the following

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0

X=3 And x=-2 and don't forget to Chek them
