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!

NISA [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, to make things easier, we can first note that 24/4 is equal to 6. This helps because integers are easier to work with compared to fractions. Next, multiplying 2 by 6, we get 12.

If f(x)=2x^2+1 and g(x)= x^2-7 find (f-g)(x)
kvasek [131]

Answer:

x² + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x)

= f(x) - g(x)

= 2x² + 1 - (x² - 7)

= 2x² + 1 - x² + 7 ← collect like terms

= x² + 8

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 75 miles per
Alisiya [41]

Let the time = x

Distance = Speed x time

One train is 75x, the other train 85x

Add together to equal total distance:

75x + 85x = 384

Simplify:

160x = 384

Divide both sides by 160:

x = 384 / 160

x = 2.4 hours
