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!

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first even integer

x+2 is the second even integer

x+4  is the third even integer

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 84

x+ (x+2) + (x+4) =84

Combine like terms

3x +6 = 84

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6-6 =84-6

3x =78

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 78/3

x =26

The three integers are 26, 28,30

The smallest is 26

What is the value of x?
Fittoniya [83]
Let the 2 equal lengths be represented by 2p.  Then you can write the equation of ratios

  p       2p
---- = -------
16      x+4

which simplifies to 

  1        2
----- = ------
 16      x+4

then x+4 = 32, and x = 28 (answer)

Joe began to increase the speed of his car at 2:00 P.M. Since that time,the speed of Joes car has been steadily increasing by 1
Olegator [25]

Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in \frac{1}{1.5} minutes

Hence

10.50 mph will be increased in \frac{1}{1.5} \times 10.50 minutes

= \frac{10.5}{1.5}

=7

Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.
