Suppose that the number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to an exponential growth model. A sample of 2600

bacteria selected from this population reached the size of 2873 bacteria in two and a half hours. Find the continuous growth rate per hour. Write your answer as a percentage. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your percentage to the nearest hundredth.

Answer: There is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial bacteria = 2600

After two and a half hours,

Number of bacteria = 2873

We need to find the continuous growth rate per hour.

As we know the equation for continuous growth rate per hour.

y=y_0e^{rt}\\\\2873=2600e^{2.5r}\\\\\dfrac{2873}{2600}=e^{2.5r}\\\\1.105=e^{2.5r}\\\\\text{Taking log on both the sides}\\\\\ln 1.105=2.5r\\\\0.0998=2.5r\\\\r=\dfac{0.0998}{2.5}\\\\r=0.0399\times 100\\\\r=3.994\%

Hence, there is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first, we need to find the weight of the table. We know that 8 boxes weighs a total of 240kg (since each box weights 30kg). Thus, we can conclude that the table weighs 70kg by doing 310-240=70.

Now, we can write our function. Let x equal the amount of boxes.

The table is a set weight, so that would be our constant.

Thus, we will have:

f(x)=30x+70

30x represents the weight each box of book adds to the total. One box equals 30kg, 2 boxes equal 60kg, etc.

The 70 represents the unchanging weight of the table.

In terms of W(x), it will be:

W(x)=30x+70
