Answer: B. 192,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth functions in time period x is given by :-

f(x)=Ab^x, where A is the initial amount , b is the growth factor.

Given: Growth factor : b = 2

Initial population : A= 3,000,000

Time period to double in size = 4 hours

The the total number of time period in a day : \dfrac{24}{4}=6

[∵A day = 24 hours]

Then , The population of yeast after 1 day ill be :-

f(6)=3,000,000(2)^6=192,000,000

Hence, the population of yeast after 1 day =192,000,000

It doubles every 4 hours, so after 24 hours there will be 6 doublings.
2^6 = 64
So, the population will be (3,000,000 * 64) or 192,000,000 in 24 hours.
The answer is B.

In a graphing program, graph the following 4 functions in the same coordinate plane.

See below for the changes when the exponential function is transformed

<h3>How to determine the effect of a</h3>

The exponential functions are given as:

y = \sqrt x

y = 5\sqrt x

y = 14\sqrt{x

y = -2\sqrt{x

An exponential function of the above form is represented as:

y = a\sqrt{x

See attachment for the graph of the four functions.

<u>When a is large</u>

This is represented by y = 14\sqrt{x

In this case, the curve of the base form y = \sqrt x is vertically stretched and it moves closer to the y-axis

<u>When a is small</u>

This is represented by y = 5\sqrt x

In this case, the curve of the base form y = \sqrt x is vertically stretched and it moves away from the x-axis

<u>When a is negative</u>

This is represented by y = -2\sqrt{x

In this case, the curve of the base form y = \sqrt x is vertically stretched and is reflected across the y-axis.

Help super important

Hello.

Taking a look at our screenshot provided, we can conclude that we need to find the missing angle degree out of 90 degrees, as we are dealing with a right angle.

Let's set this up as an Algebraic formula and solve for the variable;
5x + 15 + 50 = 90

First, let's combine like-terms (15 and 50).

5x + 65 = 90

Now, isolate our variable by subtracting 65 from each side of the equation.

90 - 65 = 25
65 - 65 = 0

5x = 25

Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x, our missing angle degree.

x = 5

Your answer is A.) 5

I hope this helps!

Why is (3,4),(5,10),(3,12) not a function
jasenka [17]
A function has a property such as "one input must be mapped to exactly one output." An input is the x-value, and the output is, generally, the y-value. In this set of points above, the input 3 maps to 4 <em>and </em>12, and therefore is not a function.

DID YOU KNOW, in 1626, Peter Du Minuit traded beads and blanket (valued at $24) to the Native American inhabitants of Manhattan
otez555 [7]

Answer: $585.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of years that would have passed is;

= 2016 - 1626

= 390 years

Using simple interest, the investment will be worth;

= Principal * ( 1 + rate * number of years)

= 24 * (1 + 0.06* 390)

= $585.60
