Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
Answer:
-3 was the low and the high temp. is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Solution :</h3>
Distance between first tree and last tree is 140m .
And distance between each tree (d) = 5 m
let's solve for number of trees (n) :
hence, total number of trees = 29.
Answer:
c = 4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(c + 8) = 28
Since we have paranthesis, first use the dsitributive property [multiply 3 by c and 8]
3(c + 8) = 28
3c + 24 = 28
To find the value of c, you must have c alone on one side, so subtract 24 from both sides
3c + 24 = 28
3c = 4
Now, divide by 3 to both sides to get your answer
3c = 4
c = 4/3
Therefore, the answer is 4/3!
