The initial number of bacteria present is equal to 270 bacteria.
The number of bacteria that will be in the petty dish after 12 hours is 167818 bacteria.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
An exponential function can be defined as a mathematical function whose values are generated by a constant that is raised to the power of the argument. Mathematically, an exponential function is represented by this formula:
f(x) = eˣ
<h3>How to calculate the initial number of bacteria?</h3>
B(t) = 150e^0.585t
When t = 1, we have:
B(1) = 150e^0.585(1)
B(1) = 150e^0.585
B(1) = 269.25 ≈ 270 bacteria.
<h3>How many bacteria will be in the petty dish after 12 hours?</h3>
Land development creates impervious surfaces through construction of roads, parking lots, and other structures. Impervious surfaces:
Contribute to nonpoint source water pollution by limiting the capacity of soils to filter runoff.
Affect peak flow and water volume, which heighten erosion potential and affect habitat and water quality.
Increase storm water runoff, which can deliver more pollutants to water bodies that residents may rely on for drinking and recreation.1 Storm runoff from urban and suburban areas contains dirt, oils from road surfaces, nutrients from fertilizers, and various toxic compounds.
A bill can be introduced in either chamber of Congress by a senator or representative who sponsors it. ... The president can approve the bill and sign it into law or not approve a bill. If the president chooses to veto a bill, in most cases Congress can vote to override that veto and the bill becomes a law.
