A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 22000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P t = P 0 ⋅ 2 t d

P t ​ =P 0 ​ ⋅2 d t ​ , where P t P t ​ is the population after t hours, P 0 P 0 ​ is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time, what is the population of bacteria in the culture after 17 hours, to the nearest whole number?

We have been given that a culture of bacteria has an initial population of 22,000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P(t) = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}}, where P(t) ​ is the population after t hours, ​P_0 is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time.

We are asked to find the population of bacteria after 17 hours.

First of all, we will substitute our given values in doubling life formula as:

P(t) =22,000\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{5}}

Now to find population of bacteria after 17 hours, we will substitute t=17 in our formula as:

P(117) =22,000\cdot 2^{\frac{17}{5}}

P(117) =22,000\cdot 2^{3.4}

P(117) =22,000\cdot (10.556063286183)

P(17) =232233.392296026

P(17)\approx 232,233

Therefore, the bacteria population will be 232,233 after 17 hours.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

y= $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of a flashlight

Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag

3x +4y = 118

5x+6y =180

Multiply the first equation by -5

-5(3x +4y) = -5*118

-15x -20y = -590


Multiply the second equation by 3

3(5x+6y) =3*180

15x + 18y = 540

Add the modified equations together.

We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x

-15x -20y = -590

15x + 18y = 540

----------------------------

-2y = -50

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -50/-2

y =25

Each sleeping bag costs $25

How do you know when a term is defined or undefined
lord [1]
In geometry, definitions are formed using known words or terms to describe a new word. There are three words in geometry that are not formally defined. These three undefined terms are point, line and plane. 

<span>POINT (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a point has no dimension (actual size). Even though we represent a point with a dot, the point has no length, width, or thickness. A point is usually named with a capital letter. In the coordinate plane, a point is named by an ordered pair, (x,y). </span>

<span>LINE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends without end in two directions. A line is named by a single lowercase written letter or by two points on the line with an arrow drawn above them. </span>

<span>PLANE (an undefined term) </span>
<span>In geometry, a plane has no thickness but extends indefinitely in all directions. Planes are usually represented by a shape that looks like a tabletop or wall. Even though the diagram of a plane has edges, you must remember that the plane has no boundaries. A plane is named by a single letter (plane m) or by three non-collinear points (plane ABC). </span>

<span>Undefined terms can be combined to define other terms. Noncollinear points, for example, are points that do not lie on the same line. A line segment is the portion of a line that includes two particular points and all points that lie between them, while a ray is the portion of a line that includes a particular point, called the end point, and all points extending infinitely to one side of the end point. </span>

<span>Defined terms can be combined with each other and with undefined terms to define still more terms. An angle, for example, is a combination of two different rays or line segments that share a single end point. Similarly, a triangle is composed of three noncollinear points and the line segments that lie between them. </span>

<span>Everything else builds on these and adds more information to this base. Those added things include all the theorems and other "defined" terms like parallelogram or acute angle. </span>
