I would say the third one would be the correct or the second one
Answer:
What are the possible answers?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Cells are divided into two cell every 20mins, this implies that the half-life is 20mins
Initial population growth is 60cells
Growth rate r?
Population growth is modeled as
P(t) = Po•exp(rt)
Where,
Po is the initial growth at t= 0
Po= 60
P(t) is population at any time t.
Since the population doubles every 20mins(⅓hr)
Then, P(⅓) = 2×60 =120
Then, P(t) = 120cells
So, applying the formula
P(t) = Po•exp(rt)
120 = 60•exp(⅓r)
120/60 = exp(r/3)
2 = exp(r/3)
Take In of both sides
In(2) = r/3
Cross multiply
r = 3In(2)
r = 2.079 /hour
The growth rate is 2.079/hour.
Answer:
They can be seated in 120 differents ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking into account that there are 3 couples and every couple has an specific way to sit, for simplify the exercise, every couple is going to act like 1 option and it's going to occupy 1 Place. If this happens we just need to organize 5 options (3 couples and 2 singles) in 5 Places (3 for a couple and 2 for the singles)
It means that now there are just 5 Places in the row and 5 options to organized. So the number of ways can be calculated using a rule of multiplication as:
<u> 5 </u>*<u> 4 </u>* <u> 3 </u> * <u> 2 </u> * <u> 1 </u> = 120
1st place 2nd Place 3rd place 4th Place 5th Place
Because we have 5 options for the 1st Place, the three couples and the 2 singles. Then, 4 options for the second Place, 3 options for the third place, 2 for the fourth place and 1 option for the 5th place.
Finally, they can be seated in 120 differents ways.
