In a laboratory, under favorable conditions, a bacteria grows at an exponential rate. the number of cells C in the population is

modeled by the function C(t)=ab^t, where a and b are constants and t is measured in hours.
T                C(t)

---            -------
0                 8
-----           --------
1                 24

Which function can be used to find the number of cells of bacteria in the population at time t?


A. C(t)=8(1)^t

B. C(t)=24(1)^t

C. C(t)=8(3)^t

D. C(t)=24(3)^t

Answer:

Eponential model is given by C(t)=8(3)^t

C is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given table, we have

For t = 0, C = 8

For t = 1, C = 24

The given model is C(t)=ab^t

Plugging, t = 0, C = 8 in the equation, we get

8=ab^0\\8=a\cdot1\\a=8

Now, plugging t = 1, C = 24 and a = 8 in the given exponential model

24=8b^1\\24=8b\\b=3

Therefore, the exponential model is given by

C(t)=8(3)^t

Solve the system:<br> 4x – 3y = -21<br> X=-y-14
Liula [17]

Answer:

The solution for the system of equations is

x=2,y=−2

Explanation:

4x−3y=14.....equation (1)

y=−3x+4.....equation (2)

Solving by substitution

Substituting equation 2 in equation 1

4x−3⋅(−3x+4)=14

4x+9x−12=14

13x=14+12

13x=26

x=2

Finding y by substituting x in equation 1

4x−3y=14

4⋅2−3y=14

8−3y=14

8−14=3y

3y=−6

y=−2

Lim t^4 - 6 / 2t^2 - 3t + 7
Harman [31]

I think you meant to say

\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}\frac{t^4-6}{2t^2-3t+7}

(as opposed to <em>x</em> approaching 2)

Since both the numerator and denominator are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, the limit of the ratio is equal to a ratio of limits. In other words, the limit operator distributes over the quotient:

\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2} \frac{t^4 - 6}{2t^2 - 3t + 7} = \frac{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(t^4-6)}{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(2t^2-3t+7)}

Because these expressions are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, we can compute the limits by evaluating the limands directly at 2:

\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2} \frac{t^4 - 6}{2t^2 - 3t + 7} = \frac{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(t^4-6)}{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(2t^2-3t+7)} = \frac{2^4-6}{2\cdot2^2-3\cdot2+7} = \boxed{\frac{10}9}
