Answer:

Part a) The number is 8

Part b) The initial number of bacteria is 4

Part c) y=4(8)^x

Part d) y=100(8)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential function is equal to

y=a(b)^x

where

y is the number of bacteria

x is the time in hours

b is the base of the exponential function

a is the initial number of bacteria

Part a) When comparing the "# of Bacteria" each hour, what is the number being multiplied by each time?

we know that

For x=1 h ----> y=32 bacteria

For x=2 h ----> y=256 bacteria

For x=3 h ----> y=2,048 bacteria

For x=4 h ----> y=16,384 bacteria

For x=5 h ----> y=131,072 bacteria

For x=6 h ----> y=1,048,576 bacteria

so

256/32=8

2,048/256=8

16,384\2,048=8

131,072/16,384=8

1,048,576\131,072=8

so

the base of the exponential function  b is 8

Part b) What is the initial number of bacteria? (at time zero)

we know that

The number of bacteria at time x=1 hour , divided by the number of bacteria at time x=0 must be equal to 8 (see part a)

so

\frac{32}{a}=8

solve for a

a=32/8=4\ bacteria

Part c) Write a rule for this table

we have

y=a(b)^x

we have

a=4\\b=8

substitute

y=4(8)^x

Part d) Suppose you started with 100 bacteria, but they still grew by the same growth factor. Write the function rule for this situation

In this case

a=100

b=8 ---> the growth factor is the same

so

y=100(8)^x

What is the circumference of a circular swimming pool with a diameter of 6 ½ feet? (use 22 over 7 as pi)
trapecia [35]

Answer:

10.21 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference of circle with diameter d is given by \pi d

where r is the radius of the circle.

_____________________________

given

diameter = 6 1/2 = 13/2 feet

\thus, circumference of circle is calculated as following

circumference = \pi *13/2 = 22/7 * 13/2\\circumference = 11*13/7*2 = 143/14 = 10.21

Thus, circumference of given circle is 10.21 feet.

Can u explain how u got the answer
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

10 degrees Celsius

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the question is asking for the difference between -8 and 2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation 1:

2 - (-8) = ?

2 + 8 = ?

10 = ?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation 2:

|2| - 0 = 2

|-8| - 0 = 8

2 + 8 = 10

Answer:

c= -2.5-0.5d

Step-by-step explanation:

15=-3(2c+d)

15=-6c+-3d

15+3d=-6c

-2.5-0.5d=c
