A biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. He puts 1,000 bacteria into what he has determined to be a fa

vorable growth medium. 12 hours later, he measures 12,500 bacteria. Assuming exponential growth, find the growth equation and use it to determine the number of bacteria after 20 hours. Note: Once you find the equation, round a and b to the nearest hundredth to determine the solution. 62,821 78,324 20,864 20,167

The bacteria grow from <span>1,000 bacteria into 12,500 bacteria in 12 hours.  The exponent function would be:

an= ao(1+r)^t
12.500= 1,000(1+r)^12
1,000(12.5)= 1,000(1+r)^12
</span>12.5= (1+r)^12
1+r= 1.23427
r= 0.23

Number of bacteria after 20hr would be:
an= ao(1+r)^t
an= 1,000(1+0.23)^20
an= 1,000(62.821 <span>)
an= </span><span>62,821 </span>

Can some one answer this plz ill give !100 POINTS!

Hello!

First of all let's find the perimeter (circumference) of the semi circles. We can combine them to make one circle with a diameter of 4 (as we can see the side length of one semi circle is 4 cm. We now plug it into the circumference equation (\pi=3.14).

4(3.14)=12.56

Now we add up the side lengths of the rectangle.

4+6+4+6=20

Now we add up the length of our circle and rectangle.

20+12.56=32.56

Therefore our answer is 32.56 cm.
----------------------------------------------------------

Now to find the area! If we combine the two semicircles, we get a circle with a diameter of four. This means that is has a radius of two. We use the equation below to find the area of the two circles.

A=\pir²

First we will square our radius.

2(2)=4

Now we multiply by pi.

4(3.14)=12.56

Now we need to find the area of the rectangle.

6(4)=24

Now we add.

24+12.56=36.56.

 
I hope this helps!

Paul is saving for a down payment to buy a house. The account earns 13% interest compound quarterly, and he wants to have $15,00
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The principal must be = $8991.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for compound interest is:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A is the amount after 't' years.

P is the principal amount

n is the number of times interest is compounded each year.

r is the rate of interest.

Here, we are given that:

Amount, A = $15000

Rate of interest = 13 % compounded quarterly i.e. 4 times every year

Number of times, interest is compounded each year, n = 4

Time, t = 4 years.

To find, Principal P = ?

Putting all the given values in the formula to find P.

15000 = P(1 + \frac{13}{400})^{4\times 4}\\\Rightarrow 15000 = P(1 + 0.0325)^{16}\\\Rightarrow 15000 = P(1.0325)^{16} \\\Rightarrow 15000 = P \times 1.66817253\\\Rightarrow P = \dfrac{15000}{1.66817253}\\\Rightarrow P \approx \$8991.88

So, <em>the principal must be = $8991.88</em>

A box of mashed paragraphs flakes has a volume 220in. The box is 8 inches long and 11 inches tall. What is the width of the box
Taya2010 [7]

The width is 2.5 in. Volume = Length x Width x Height

220 = 8 \times 11 \times x

\frac{220}{8}  = x = 2.5
