This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
Answer:
the answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2nd possible answer is the correct one; the const. of var. is 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 1/3 can be rewritten in inverse variation format: Divide both sides by x to isolate y. Then y = (1/3)(1/x). The constant of (inverse) variation is 1/3.
Answer: 150 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8 can be converted to .875 because 1/8 is .125 and .125*7=.875. Add -12 to it so the answer is -12.875
