A scientist runs an experiment involving a culture of bacteria. She notices that the mass of the bacteria in the culture increas

es exponentially with the mass increasing by 260% per week. What is the 1-week growth factor for the mass of the bacteria?

The growth factor for the mass of bacteria is 2.8 in 1 week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bacteria in the culture increase by 260% per week. Now we assign values to get a better understanding. If there were 1,000 bacteria in the culture at the start of the week there would be 1,000 + 260% at the week's end = 1,000 + 2,600 = 3,600 at the week's end.

Step 2:

To calculate the growth factor, we calculate the difference between the present value and the past value and divide it by the past value.

Here the past value is 1,000 and the present value is 2,600.

Growth factor = \frac{difference in values}{past value} = \frac{3,600-1,000}{1000} = \frac{2,600}{1,000} = 2.6.

So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.

On Monday, Avi walked from his home to the school track and walked 4 laps around the track for a total of 3.5 miles. On Saturday
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

3.5 = x + 4*y

4 = 2x + 2*y

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance ran by Avi is the sum of the distance from his house to the track, and the total distance ran in the tracks (that is, the distance of one lap times the number of laps Avi ran).

If we call 'd' the total distance and 'k' the number of laps, we have the equation:

d = x + k*y

So with the data given, we can have the following system:

3.5 = x + 4*y

4 = 2x + 2*y

In the second equation, we have 2x because Avi ran from his home to the track, and in the end ran back home, so Avi ran the distance x two times.

Write an equation of a line whose graph is parallel to the graph of y=3x-10.
Rzqust [24]
Y=3x plus or minus any number that is not 10.

The slope of your function has to stay 3x to be parallel with the function given. Just change the y-intercept (also known as the B value) to a number other than -10.
