From the calculation, the growth rate is 0.88.

<h3>What is the growth rate?</h3>

To find the relative growth rate

P1 = Poe^rt

P2 = Poe^rt

Thus;

1920 = Poe^4r ------ (1)

1966080 =Poe^12r -------(2)

P2/P1 gives;

1966080/1920 = Poe^12r/Poe^4r

1024 = e^12r/e^4r

1024 =e^8r

1024 = (e^r)^8

2^10 = (e^r)^8

e^r = 2^1.25

e^r = 2.38

r = ln(2.38)

r = 0.88

The initial size of the culture is;

1920 = Poe^(0.88 * 4)

Po = 1920/e^(0.88 * 4)

Po = 57

The  expression for the exact number of bacteria after t hours is

P(t) = 57e^0.08t

The growth (in bacteria per hour) after 9.5 hours is

P(t) = 57e^(0.88 * 9.5)

P(t) = 243544

For the number to reach 72,000;

72,000 =  57e^0.88t

72,000/57 = e^0.88t

ln 126 = ln[e^0.88t]

4.8 = 0.88t

t = 4.8/0.88

t = 5.5 hours

The answer to this problem for my hw
Darya [45]
Okay. So, Marianna has 16 yards of fabric. Subtract 2 2/3 from 16, because those are the leftovers. 16 - 2 2/3 is 13 1/3. 13 1/3 / 3 1/3 is 4. Mariana made 4 pieces of 3 1/3 yard fabric. The answer is C: 4.

4. A triangle with base (2x+2) and height (x-2) is cut out of a rectangular sheet of paper that is (3x+4) by (2x+3) what is the
juin [17]
So what we do is
area that remains=total area-triangle area that was cut out


we need to find 2 things
total area
triangle area

total area=rectange=base times height
area=(3x+4) times (2x+3)
FOIL or distribute
6x^2+8x+9x+12=6x^2+17x+12

triangle area=1/2 times base times height
triangle area=1/2 times (2x+2) times (x-2)=
(x+2) times (x-2)=x^2+2x-2x-4=x^2-4


so
total area=6x^2+17x+12
triangle area=x^2-4

subtract
area that remains=total area-triangle area that was cut out
area that remains=6x^2+17x+12-(x^2-4)=
6x^2+17x+12-x^2+4=
6x^2-x^2+17x+12+4=
5x^2+17x+16


area that remains is 5x^2+17x+16
