Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli.

A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes.

Initial population = 71 cells

Doubles in 1/3 of an hour

P = P_o (2)^{t/3}, where t is the no of hours.

P = 71 (2)^{t/3}

Rate of growth = derivative of P

= 71(2)^{t/3} *(1/3)ln 2\\= \frac{71}{3} (2)^{t/3} ln 2

What is the answer to this question?
lions [1.4K]
*Hint: The formula to solve this is SA = 2bs + b^2

Now that you know the formula, plug in and solve.

SA = 2(5)(8) + (5)^2
SA = 80 + 25
SA = 105

Now that you see that the question is asking for the answer in yards, you convert feet into yards.

3 feet = 1 yard.

105 is divided by 3 and you get 35.

The answer is 35 square yards.

-17 + n/5 = 33
Add 17 to both sides

-17 +n/5 + 17 = 33 + 17
SImplify
n/5 = 50

Multiply 5 to both sides

n/5 * 5 = 50 * 5

n = 250
