A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour. (a) Find a function N that models the number of bact

Tpy6a [65]

Answer: a) $N(t)=1500(2)^t$

b) 25165824000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for growth is given by :-

$y= ab^t$ , where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.

Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.

i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2

Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :

$N(t)=1500(2)^t$

To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get

$N(24)=1500(2)^{24}\\\\=1500(16777216)=25165824000$

Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.

joseph has a new rectangular aquarium. the aquarium has a length of four feet, width of two feet and height of two feet. What is

Darina [25.2K]

12 inches go into one foot, so we can calculate the volume of the tank in inches to make the calculations that follow easier. Therefore, to calculate the volume of the tank, we use length x breadth x height = 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 square feet x 12 for square inches = 192 square inches.
Every 12 square inches Joseph can fit a one inch fish. The fish that he has are 3 inches long, therefore he can only fit one fish every 36 square inches.
That means that if we take the total volume of the tank and divide it by the space that a 3 inch fish will take up, we are left with 192/36 = 5.3 fish.
You cannot have a third of a fish, so we round off to the nearest whole number, and we determine that Joseph can put 5 fish in his new aquarium.

Frank’s quarter grades are 82.5, 94.7, and 87.9. What grade, rounded to the nearest percent, will Frank have to earn in the last

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The given final course grade, 88%, is the average of Frank's four quarter grades. The average is the sum of all grades divided among the four quarters. Let x be the average,
(82.5 + 94.7 + 87.9 + x) / 4 = 88
The value of x is equal to 86.9. Thus, the answer is letter C. 87%.

Please note that dilation does not affect angles. Thus, if an image is dilated the angle remains the same and does not change.

Therefore, even if $\Delta ABC$ is dilated to $\Delta JKL$ by a factor of 1.5 (or by any factor for that matter), the linear dimensions of the original triangle $\Delta ABC$ will either get stretched or get shrunk by a factor of 1.5 but the angles of the original triangle will not be affected in any case.

Please note that this is true for all two dimensional geometric shapes.
