Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear functions are straight lines while exponential functions are curved lines. ... If the same number is being added to y, then the function has a constant change and is linear. If the y value is increasing or decreasing by a certain percent, then the function is exponential.

If 3,000 bacteria, with a growth constant (k) of 2.8 per hour, are present at the beginning of an experiment, in how many hours

Ivenika [448]

Given:

Initial number of bacteria = 3000

With a growth constant (k) of 2.8 per hour.

To find:

The number of hours it will take to be 15,000 bacteria.

Solution:

Let P(t) be the number of bacteria after t number of hours.

The exponential growth model (continuously) is:

$P(t)=P_0e^{kt}$

Where, $P_0$ is the initial value, k is the growth constant and t is the number of years.

Putting $P(t)=15000,P_0=3000, k=2.8$ in the above formula, we get

$15000=3000e^{2.8t}$

$\dfrac{15000}{3000}=e^{2.8t}$

$5=e^{2.8t}$

Taking ln on both sides, we get

$\ln 5=\ln e^{2.8t}$

$1.609438=2.8t$ $[\because \ln e^x=x]$

$\dfrac{1.609438}{2.8}=t$

$0.574799=t$

$t\approx 0.575$

Therefore, the number of bacteria will be 15,000 after 0.575 hours.

We are given with a circle and we need to find the equation of the circle , but first let's recall that , the equation of a circle with radius 'r' and centre at (h,k) is given by ${\bf{(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}}}$

Now , here as as the circle cuts the +ve x-axis at (9,0) . So , it's radius is 9 units or the 2nd way is to measure the distance from centre of the circle to the point where the circle cuts the graph , as the centre is at Origin , so here (h,k) = (0,0) .Which means that the centre is located at the point whose coordinates are (0,0) which is also known as origin . Now , finding the equation of the circle :-
