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.

James wants to compete in the international speed texting competition next year where participants compete on text speed and acc
makkiz [27]

1a 2.5 characters per second

1b 3 characters per second

1c 3.5 characters per second

1d s = 2 + 0.5m

2a 8 = 2 +0.5m

6=0.5 m

m=12

2b the final speed James wants is 8 cps. sub that in for s. we want to know m. first, subtract 2 from both sides to get 6. then, divide by 0.5, which is 1/2 as a fraction. In order to divide a number by a fraction, you need to invert the fraction and switch operations from division to multiplication. It becomes 2/1 * 6 = 12.

3a 10 r +4 = 8

10r =4

r =4/10=2/5

3b. In this equation, r could be the increase in amount of characters that Lydia can type per second.

Write a sine function that has an amplitude of 5, a midline of 3 and a period of 1/8.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

y=5sin(16pix)+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Amp=5 means our curve is either y=5sin(bx+c)+d or y=-5sin(bx+c)+d.

y=sin(x) has period 2pi.

So y=sin(bx) has period 2pi/b.

We want 2pi/b=1/8.

Cross multiplying gives: 16pi=b

y=5sin(16pix+c)+d

d=3 since we want midline y=3.

y=5sin(16pix+c)+3

We can choose c=0 since we aren't required to have a certain phase shift.

y=5sin(16pix)+3
