A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before tr

eatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?
A. f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

B. f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

C. f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

D. f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step by step explanation:

The exponential function is defined as

f(x)=ab^x

Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor or decay factor.

The initial population of bacteria is 5000.

After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. It means the growth factor or decay factor is

\frac{40}{100}=0.4

Therefore the required function is

f(x)=5000(0.4)^x

The horizontal asymptote is y=0 because

f(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow\infty

Therefore option A is correct.

Which information can be determined from the chemical formula C6H12O6?; What is the correct formula for photosynthesis?; How are
3241004551 [841]

The chemical formula C6H12O6 is the chemical formula of glucose which is a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group (-CHO) with 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms. Glucose is a product produced from photosynthesis.

The chemical molecular formula for the photosynthesis process is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. The synthesis process is a reaction that occurs in plants to produce food to be used as energy for cells. The process of photosynthesis requires materials in the form of air which is represented by H2O and carbon dioxide which is represented by the formula CO2 in the chemical formula of the photosynthesis process. The products of photosynthesis are glucose which is represented by C6H12O6 and oxygen which is represented by O2 in the chemical formula.

Some people often refer to the chemical formula of photosynthesis as CO2+H2O→C6H12O6+O2, this formula is an unbalanced equation. Because the auction will produce glucose with the chemical formula C6H12O6 having 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms, then should the chemical formula carbon dioxide H2O and water O2 also have a total of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
