A culture started with 6,000 bacteria. After 4

Mathematics

19539 bacteria will be present after 18 hours

<u>Solution:</u>

Initial value of bacteria N = 6000

Value after 4 hours N_o = 7800

<em><u>The standard exponential equation is given as:</u></em>

N=N_{o} E^{-k t}

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,

7800 = 6000E^{-4k}

Solving for "k" we get,

\frac{13}{10}=E^{-4k}

Taking "ln" on both sides, we get

ln\frac{13}{10} = -4k

\frac{ln\frac{13}{10}}{4} = -k

On solving for ln, we get k = -0.0656

The equation becomes, N = 6000E^{0.0656t}

Now put "t" = 18,

N = 6000E^{0.0656 \times 18}\\\\N = 6000 \times 3.256 = 19539

Hence the bacteria present after 18 hours is 19539

Explain how the identity property in the problem, 2/3 (1) = 1 (2/3) = 2/3, is the same with any rational number. ANSWER FAST PLE
Morgarella [4.7K]
First of all, the identity property of multiplication (which is what this is I'm assuming) is that the number 1 multiplied by any other number is that number itself. (An example would be 2 multiplied by 1, which would be two) So in this problem, this rule applies too, since 2/3 multiplied by 1 would be 2/3!

Hope this helped :)

If f(x)=x-2 and g(x)=1/2x, find g(f(x))
Scilla [17]

Answer:

hello :

If f(x)=x-2 and g(x)=1/2x,

g(f(x)) = g ( x - 2 )

          = 1/2(x-2)

g(f(x)) = (1/2)x - 1

What fraction is equivalent to 20 in simplest fraction form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

I believe its 20% or 20/100 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i mean, 20% is 20/100 or 1/5. the number already a fraction. the denominator is out of 100.

20% = 20/100

then you change it to simpliest form.

20 / 20 = 1

100 / 20 = 5 = 1/5
