The function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is; P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

<h3>How to calculate Exponential Growth?</h3>

The formula for exponential growth is;

P = P₀e^(rt)

where;

P = current population at time t

P₀ = starting population

r = rate of exponential growth/decay

t = time after start

Thus, from our question we have;

4500 = 1500 * e^(r * 1)

4500/1500 = e^r

e^r = 3

In 3 = r

r = 1.0986

Thus, the function that represents the growth of this culture of bacteria as a function of time is;

P = 1500e^(1.0986t)

For the culture to double, then;

P/P₀ = 2. Thus;

e^(1.0986t) = 2

In 2 = 1.0986t

t = 0.6931/1.0986

t = 0.631 hours

a system of equations has infinitely many solutions. if 2y – 4x = 6 is one of the equations, which could be the other equation?
deff fn [24]
<span>A system of equations has infinitely many solutions when the two lines representing the equations coincide. i.e. the two equations are the same or a multiple of each other.
2y - 4x = 6
2y = 4x + 6
2y = 2(2x + 3)
y = 2x + 3
-y = -(2x + 3)
-y = -2x - 3
Hence the other equation is -y = -2x - 3</span>
