number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water and t represents the time, in years, that has elapsed.
A(t)=136(1.123)^4t

Based on the model, by approximately what percent does the number of E.coli bacteria cells increase each year?


A.

Answer:

  • <u>Option B. 59%</u>

Explanation:

The function that represents the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water as the time t years elapses is:

  • A(t)=136(1.123)^{4t}

The base, 1.123, represents the multiplicative constant rate of change of the function, so you just must substitute 1 for t in the power part of the function:

  • rate=(1.123)^{4t}=(1.123)^4=1.590

Then, the multiplicative rate of change is 1.590, which means that every year the number of E.coli bacteria cells per 100 mL of water increases by a factor of 1.590, and that is 1.59 - 1 = 0.590 or 59% increase.

Find the slope and y-intercept of the following equation: Y = ¾ x - ½
Alina [70]

Answers:

Slope = 3/4

y intercept = -1/2

================================================

Explanation:

The form y = mx+b is known as slope intercept form

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Comparing y = (3/4)x - 1/2 to y = mx+b, we see that

m = 3/4

b = -1/2
