Answer: The population after 3 hours is 13.9 mill.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have an exponential with:

A  = initial population.

r = constant relative growth rate:

t = time.

The function that models this is:

P(t) = A*e^(k*t)

In this case we know that:

A = 3.9 mill.

r = 0.4225 1.

Then the function that models the population of this yeast cell is:

P(t) = (3.9 mill)*e^(0.4225*t)

where t represents the time in hours.

Then if we want to know the population after 3 hours, we should replace t by 3.

P(3) = (3.9 mill)*e^(0.4225*3) = 13.85 mill.

And we want to round our answer to one decimal place, then we must look at the second decimal place, we can see that is a 5, so we should round up.

The population after 3 hours is 13.9 mill.

Find the vertex of the given quadratic function.
ki77a [65]

B

given f(x) in factored form, equate to zero for x-intercepts

(x - 8)(x - 4) = 0, hence

x = 4, x = 8 ← x- intercepts

The vertex lies on the axis of symmetry which is situated at the midpoint of the x- intercepts

x- coordinate of vertex = \frac{4+8}{2} = 6

f(6) = (6 - 8 )(6 - 4 ) = -2 × 2 = - 4 ← y-coordinate

vertex = (6, - 4 ) → B
