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

How to find domain and range of a parabola?
german
The domain is the value of x, the range is the value of y.
A parabola opens infinitely to the right and left, so x can be any number, the domain is all real numbers
Vertically, however, a parabola opens only one way, either upward or downward. when it opens upward from a a certain level, say, the lower point (the vertex) has a y coordinate of 2, we say the range is all real numbers larger than or equal to 2, or y≥2. When it opens downward, we say the range is all real numbers smaller or equal to 2, y≤2

How many feet are there in 24 yards? <br><br> A. 288<br> B. 8<br> C. 2<br> D. 72
Mkey [24]
First of all we need to know that 1 yard has 3 feet inside of it 
but in order to find 24 yards we would have to multiply by 3 sooo
24 x 3 = 72
so that means there are 72 feet in 24 yards.
In other words the answer is D:)
hope this helps:P
