Answer:

The evaluation is $f(-2)=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given an explicit function of x, wich has the form

$f(x)=x^2+4x$

The problem ask to evaluate f(-2), this means to put the value x=-2 into the function, so

$f(-2)=(-2)^2+4(-2)=4-8=-4$

Therefore, the answer is

$f(-2)=-4$

Answer: $\bold{a)\ P(t)=P_o\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}}$

b) 5314

c) ln 2.7

d) 4.6 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(t) = P_o\cdot e^{kt}\\\\\bullet \text{P(t) is the number of bacteria after t hours} \\\bullet P_o\text{ is the initial number of bacteria}\\\bullet \text{k is the rate of growth}\\\bullet \text{t is the time (in hours)}\\\\\\270=100\cdot e^{k(1)}\\2.7=e^k\\ln\ 2.7=\ln e^k\\\boxed{ln\ 2.7=k}\\\\\text{So the equation to find the number of bacteria is: }\boxed{P(t)=P_o\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}}\\\\\\P(4)=100\cdot e^{4\cdot ln(2.7)}\\.\qquad =\boxed{5314}$

$10,000=100\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\100=e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\ln\ 100=ln\ e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\ln\ 100=t\cdot ln(2.7)\\\dfrac{ln\ 100}{ln\ 2.7}=t\\\\\boxed{4.6=t}$

The half-life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years. Suppose a fossil is found with 50% of Carbon-14 as compared to a living sample. How ol

melisa1 [442]

The answer is C. Because it takes 5730 years for half of a sample of carbon-14 atoms to decay. It says that 50% of the carbon atoms have decayed so that means that 5730 years have elapsed for that fossil.

I hope that helps.
