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.

3241004551 [841]

ANSWER

f(3) =  - 25

EXPLANATION

We want to determine the value of f(3) that will lead to an average rate of change of 19 over the interval [3, 5].

The average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [a,b]:

=  \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

If the average rate of change over the interval [3, 5] is 19, then;

\frac{f(5) - f(3)}{5 - 3}  = 19

From the to table f(5)=13

\frac{13 - f(3)}{2}  = 19

13 - f(3) = 19 \times 2

13 - f(3) = 38

- f(3) = 38 - 13

- f(3) = 25

f(3) =  - 25
