1h----------------> 70x3=210 bacteria
2h-----------------> 210*3=630 bactaeria
let be y the number of bacteria at the t=0h
it is y=70 3^0
for t= 1h
y=70*3^1=210
for t=2h
y=70*3^2=630

so we can write y=70*3^x, where x is the number of hour

The function to represent the growth of bacteria will be

a=70*3^b

a is the number of bacteria at time b

b is the number of hour(time)

Explanation:

As per the given information You start your experiment with 70 bacteria,and the bacteria triples in every hour so in

1 hour = 70*3=210 bacteria are formed

2 hour = 210*3=630 bacteria are formed

3 hour=630*3=1,890 bacteria are formed

let a  be the number of bacteria at the t=1 hour

if  t= 1 hour then

a=70*3^1=210

if t=2 hour then

a=70*3^2=630

How did early life forms begin to evolve to adapt oxygen
amid [387]

Answer:

As evolutionary biologists have shown, this multicellularity was linked to the rise in oxygen and thus played a significant role for life on Earth as it is today. ... By producing oxygen and evolving into multicellular forms, they played a key role in the emergence of organisms that breathe oxygen.

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
Serga [27]
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up.  It also doesn't mean
slowing down.  Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun

If the half-life of tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years, how much of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.0000076 grams

Explanation:

We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:

Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.

n =  \frac{250}{12.3}  = 20.325

Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.

So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g

So now we can devise a formula:

m =  \frac{original \: amount}{ {2}^{n} }

Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.

Using this formula we can calculate:

m =  \frac{10}{ {2}^{20.325} }

Doing this calculation we get:

m = 0.0000076 \: g

As we can see a very small value remains.
