Answer:
a)
b) Approx. 27,569 bacteria
c) About 103 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
This will follow exponential modelling with form of equation shown below:
Where
A is the initial amount (here, 12000)
b is the growth factor (double, so growth factor is "2")
n is the number of minutes in which it doubles, so n = 50
Substituting, we get our formula:
b)
To get number of bacteria after 1 hour, we have to plug in the time into "t" of the formula we wrote earlier.
Remember, t is in minutes, so
1 hour = 60 minutes
t = 60
Substituting, we get:
The number of bacteria after 1 hour would approximate be <u>27,569 bacteria</u>
<u></u>
c)
To get TIME to go to 50,000 bacteria, we will substitute 50,000 into "y" of the equation and solve the equation using natural logarithms to get t. Shown below:
After about 103 minutes, there will be 50,000 bacteria
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean would mean average, which in this case is
so your equation would look like
Next multiply both sides by to clear the fraction
to get
Subtract 69 from both sides
you get
