A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has i

ncreased to 230. (a) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after t hours. (b) Find the number of bacteria after 2 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) P(2) = ___bacteria (c) Find the rate of growth after 2 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) P'(2) = ___bacteria per hour (d) When will the population reach 10,000? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) t = ___hr

Answer:

  • P(t) = 100·2.3^t
  • 529 after 2 hours
  • 441 per hour, rate of growth at 2 hours
  • 5.5 hours to reach 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to write an exponential expression as ...

   value = (initial value)×(growth factor)^(t/(growth period))

(a) Here, the growth factor for the bacteria is given as 230/100 = 2.3 in a period of 1 hour. The initial number is 100, so we can write the pupulation function as ...

  P(t) = 100·2.3^t

__

(b) P(2) = 100·2.3^2 = 529 . . . number after 2 hours

__

(c) P'(t) = ln(2.3)P(t) ≈ 83.2909·2.3^t

  P'(2) = 83.2909·2.3^2 ≈ 441 . . . bacteria per hour

__

(d) We want to find t such that ...

  P(t) = 10000

  100·2.3^t = 10000 . . . substitute for P(t)

  2.3^t = 100 . . . . . . . . divide by 100

  t·log(2.3) = log(100)

  t = 2/log(2.3) ≈ 5.5 . . . hours until the population reaches 10,000

8(2n - 5) = 3(6n - 2)
joja [24]

Answer:

n=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

8(2n-5)=3(6n-2)

1) Distributive property

16x-40=18x-6

16x−40=18x−6

2) Subtract 16x16x from both sides.

-40=18x-6-16x

−40=18x−6−16x

3) Simplify 18x-6-16x18x−6−16x to 2x-62x−6.

-40=2x-6

−40=2x−6

4) Add 66 to both sides.

-40+6=2x

−40+6=2x

5) Simplify -40+6−40+6 to -34−34.

-34=2x

−34=2x

6) Divide both sides by 22.

-\frac{34}{2}=x

−

2

34

=x

7) Simplify \frac{34}{2}

2

34

to 17

−17=x

8) Switch sides.

x=−17

You purchased a vehicle for $11,578 with a down payment of $4,100. You had 36 monthly payments of $251.34. Calculate the finance
Leona [35]
Finance charge is a fee that represents the cost of borrowing or credit.
In this equation, it shows the total amount paid through credit subtracted by the cost of vehicle.
let x be the finance charge

x = $4,100 + 36 months ($251.34/month) - <span>$11,578 
</span>x = $4,100 + $9,048.24 - <span>$11,578 </span>
x = ($4,100 + $9,048.24) - $11,578
x = $13,148.24 - $11,578 
x = $1,570.24.
The finance charge is $1,570.24
