3. Dr. Silas studies the culture of bacteria under a microscope. The function b1(t) = 1200 (1.8)^t represents the number of bact

eria t hours after Dr. Silas begins her study. (a) What does the value 1200 represent in this situation? (b) What does the value 1.8 represent in this situation? (c) The number of bacteria in a second study is modeled by the function b1(t) = 1200 (1.8)^t What does the value of 1000 represent in this situation? What does the difference between 1200 and 1000 mean between the two studies? Answer:

Answer:

  (a) the initial count of bacteria

  (b) the growth factor (per hour)

  (c) the initial count in the second study

  (d) the difference in initial counts between the two studies

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 1200 is b1(0), the initial count of bacteria.

__

(b) 1.8 is the growth factor per hour, the factor that multiplies the previous hour's count to get this hour's count.

__

(c) Assuming b2(t) = 1000(1.8)^t, the value 1000 is the initial count of bacteria in the second study, b2(0).

__

(d) The difference between 1200 and 1000 means the first study started with 200 more bacteria than the second study did

Sara invests $1,200 each year in an IRA ( 12 years in an account that earned 5%
Sati [7]
A)

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{Future Value of an ordinary annuity}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=pymnt\left[ \cfrac{\left( 1+\frac{r}{n} \right)^{nt}-1}{\frac{r}{n}} \right]&#10;\\\\

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;A=&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{original amount}\\&#10;\textit{already compounded}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;&#10;\end{array}\\&#10;pymnt=\textit{periodic deposits}\to &1200\\&#10;r=rate\to 5\%\to \frac{5}{100}\to &0.05\\&#10;n=&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{times it compounds per year}\\&#10;\textit{each year, once}&#10;\end{array}\to &1\\&#10;&#10;t=years\to &12&#10;\end{cases}

B)

let's say after 12years, she ended up with a value of say "P"
so.. now she's just sitting on P, making no more deposits to it
just taking whatever the compound 5% interest will give, thus

\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{compounded amount}\\&#10;P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\boxed{P}\\&#10;r=rate\to 5\%\to \frac{5}{100}\to &0.05\\&#10;n=&#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{times it compounds per year}\\&#10;\textit{again, is only once}&#10;\end{array}\to &1\\&#10;&#10;t=years\to &11&#10;\end{cases}


C)

from A) she made 1,200 every year, for 12 years that's 1200*12, that's how much she put out of pocket, if you got an amount P from A), then the interest is just the difference, or P - (1200*12)

from B), she started with an original amount of P, and ended up with a compounded amount of A after 11years, so the interest is just also the difference, or A - P

add those two folks together, and that's the total interest she got for the 23  years
