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

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

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?
Leya [2.2K]

<em>Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>  5x+4y=2 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>-5x     -5x  (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>4y = 2 - 5x </em>

<em> </em>

<em>/4  /4  /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y = (1/2) - (5/4)x  ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know: </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y = 5 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>m = -(5/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>x = 7 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y=mx+b </em>

<em> </em>

<em>5=(-5/4)(7) + b  -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>5 = -(35/4) + b  -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>+(35/4) +(35/4)  -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b </em>

<em> </em>

<em>55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Answer:  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>m = -(5/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>b = 13.75</em>
