..Given:

\begin{gathered} a=38762 \\ r=5.3\%=\frac{5.3}{100}=0.053 \\ t=20 \end{gathered}

To Determine: The number of bacteria after 20 hours

Using the future value formula for growth rate

\begin{gathered} P_a=P_c(1+r)^t \\ P_a=(Bacteria,final,population) \\ P_c(Bacteria,current,population)=38762 \\ r(rate)=0.053,t(time,in,hour)=20 \end{gathered}

Therefore

\begin{gathered} P_a=38762(1+0.053)^{20} \\ P_a=38762(1.053)^{20} \\ P_a=38762(2.809101) \\ P_a=108886.39 \\ P_a\approx108886 \end{gathered}

Hence, population of bacteria in 20 hours is 108,886

You have $30 dollars saved up. Every week you spend $6 at the arcade. Write an equation in slope intercept form that shows how m
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

y = -6x + 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The inicial value you have is $30, so this will be the value of y after 0 weeks, that is, x = 0

After one week, you spend $6, so you will have y = 30 - 6 = 24 when x = 1.

With these pair of values, we can find the linear equation:

y = ax + b

for x = 0, y = 30:

30 = a*0 + b

b = 30

for x = 1, y = 24:

24 = a*1 + 30

a = 24 - 30 = -6

So, our equation is:

y = -6x + 30
