Answer:

The size of the sample after four hours is of 3158 bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population after t hours can be modeled by the continuous exponential growth model, which is:

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate paremeter.

A growth rate parameter of 17% per hour.

This means that r = 0.17

Suppose also that a sample culture of 1600 is obtained from this population.

This means that P(0) = 1600

Find the size of the sample after four hours.

This is P(4).

P(t) = P(0)e^{rt}

P(t) = 1600e^{0.17t}

P(4) = 1600e^{0.17*4}

P(4) = 3158.2

Rounding to the nearest integer

The size of the sample after four hours is of 3158 bacteria.

Answer:

<h2>               21 km    </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the bicyclist travels 7 km for every 5 minutes then it is directly proportional

5 min        7 km

15 min          x

x=\dfrac{15\cdot7}{5}=3\cdot7=21\,km

What is the solution to the equation y3+4=120
ladessa [460]
To solve this problem first subtract the 4 from 120.
120 - 4 = 3y + 4(-4) =
116 = 3y.
Then divide both sides by three.
116 / 3 = 3y / 3 =
38.6666666667 = y
y = <span>38.6666666667.</span> 
To double check the answer , 38.6666666667 x 3 + 4 = 120.

Answer:

When it's negative when it goes to the other side it becomes a positive.....

Y=(x-4)(x-1)

Make y 0 when your calculating for x

Make x 0 when your calculating for y

0=(x-4)(x-1)

Therefore x=4 or x=1
