A scientist running an experiment starts with 100 bacteria cells. These bacteria double their population every 15 hours. Find ho

w long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300. Use the formula , where is the original number of bacteria cells, is the number after t hours, and d is the time taken to double the number. It takes hours for the number of bacteria to increase to 300.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 23.77 hours

<h2>Why?</h2>

Total(t)=Start*2^\frac{t}{15}

Where:

Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)

<em>Start</em> is the original amount

<em>t </em>is the time in hours.

For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:

Total(15)=100*2^\frac{15}{15}=100*2^{1}=100*2=200

To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:

300=100*2^{\frac{t}{15} } } \\\frac{300}{100}=2^{\frac{t}{15} } }\\log(3)=log(2^{\frac{t}{15} })\\\\\\log(3)=\frac{t}{15}*log2\\t=\frac{log(3)}{log(2)} *15=23.77

So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:

Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94

and 299.94≅300

Have a nice day!

A rock is released from rest and freely falls 70 m to the ground. What is its velocity just before impact? A. 1.2 m/s B. 7.0 m/s
Yuri [45]

Answer:

37.04 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the equation x = x0 + v0t + 1/2at^2

a = -9.8 m/s^2, the acceleration due to gravity

x0 = 70 m, the starting point of x

v0 = 0 m/s

x = 0

this will allow us to solve for time

0 = 70 + 0 +-4.9t^2

t = 3.779

now we can use the equation v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8(3.77)

v = 37.04 m/s

Which step is included in the graph of the function f(x)=[x-1]? (the brackets are ceiling functions symbols)
KiRa [710]

we are given

f(x)=[x=1]

where bracket means ceiling functions

we know that

Ceiling  function returns the least value of the integer that is greater than or equal to the specified number

so, we can check each options

option-A:

-4\leq x

At x=-4:

f(x)=[-4-1] =-5

For x<-3:

Let's assume

x=-3.1

f(x)=[-3.1-1] =[-4.1]=-5

so, this interval is TRUE

option-B:

-2\leq x

At x=-2:

f(x)=[-2-1] =-3

For x<-1:

Let's assume

x=-1.1

f(x)=[-1.1-1] =[-2.1]=-3

so, this is FALSE

Solve for x and write your answer in simplest form.<br><br> -1/2 -1/2(4/5x+1) = -2 -3x
dimaraw [331]

The solution of the equation which is as described in the task content when expressed in its simplest form is; -5/13.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation as described in the task content?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the solution to the equation is to be determined and expressed in its simplest form.

Given;

-1/2 -1/2(4/5x+1) = -2 -3x

By distributing the coefficients: we have;

-1/2 - 2/5x - 1/2 = -2 -3x

Hence, by collecting like terms; we have;

-1/2 - 1/2 + 2 = -3x + (2/5)x

1 = -13x/5

Therefore; by cross-multiplication; we have;

5 = -13x

Divide both sides by; -13.

x = -5/13.

Ultimately, the solution of the equation which is as described in the task content when expressed in its simplest form is; -5/13.
