Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

time is tricky due to the 60 minute interface. In those questions add to the lower number until you hit a rounded number.

Fortunately you don't need to use this in this problem, and can just subtract 58-27 to get 31

Two trains leave stations 442 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour

Brrunno [24]

$(75 + 95) \times x = 442$

$x = \frac{442}{75 + 95} = 2.6$

so it takes 2.6 of hours which is the same as 2 hours and 36 minutes for them to reach eachother.

A cylindrical gasoline tank is 50 ft high and has diameter 70 ft. How many gallons of gasoline will the tank hold if there are 7

Schach [20]

You add 70 + 50 then you multiply it by 7.5 and you get, 900 gallons.

A bacteria culture starts with 12,000 bacteria and the number doubles every 50 minutes.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

a) $y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}$

b) Approx. 27,569 bacteria

c) About 103 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This will follow exponential modelling with form of equation shown below:

$y=Ab^{\frac{t}{n}}$

Where

A is the initial amount (here, 12000)

b is the growth factor (double, so growth factor is "2")

n is the number of minutes in which it doubles, so n = 50

Substituting, we get our formula:

$y=Ab^{\frac{t}{n}}\\y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}$

To get number of bacteria after 1 hour, we have to plug in the time into "t" of the formula we wrote earlier.

Remember, t is in minutes, so

1 hour = 60 minutes

t = 60

Substituting, we get:

$y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}\\y=12000(2)^{\frac{60}{50}}\\y=12000(2)^{\frac{6}{5}}\\y=27,568.76$

The number of bacteria after 1 hour would approximate be <u>27,569 bacteria</u>

<u></u>

To get TIME to go to 50,000 bacteria, we will substitute 50,000 into "y" of the equation and solve the equation using natural logarithms to get t. Shown below:

$y=12000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}\\50,000=12,000(2)^{\frac{t}{50}}\\4.17=2^{\frac{t}{50}}\\Ln(4.17)=Ln(2^{\frac{t}{50}})\\Ln(4.17)=\frac{t}{50}*Ln(2)\\\frac{t}{50}=\frac{Ln(4.17)}{Ln(2)}\\\frac{t}{50}=2.06\\t=103$
