19539 bacteria will be present after 18 hours
<u>Solution:</u>
Initial value of bacteria N = 6000
Value after 4 hours
= 7800
<em><u>The standard exponential equation is given as:</u></em>

where
N is amount after time t
No is the initial amount
k is the constant rate of growth
t is time
Plugging in the values in formula we get,

Solving for "k" we get,

Taking "ln" on both sides, we get


On solving for ln, we get k = -0.0656
The equation becomes, 
Now put "t" = 18,

Hence the bacteria present after 18 hours is 19539
The point you want is (0,-2)
The slope of that line would be (4-(-2))/(-1-0)= -6
the line would be y= -6x-2
In order to answer that question we would have to know how many people are in the group
For example: if there are ten people in the group then the fraction would be 8/10
If there are 20 people in the group then the fraction would be 8/20
I hope this helped
Answer:
First, subtract the budgeted amount from the actual expense. If this expense was over budget, then the result will be positive.
Next, divide that number by the original budgeted amount and then multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage over budget. If your expenses were lower than your budgeted amount, then this number will be negative, describing the percentage under budget.
