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.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can conclude there are 18 horses because although some of the mares might be brown horses, the conjunction "and" implies the mares are in addition to the brown horses.

A car traveled 360 km in 6 h. A train traveled 400 km in 8 h. A boat traveled 375 km in 5 h. Which has the fastest average speed
Nataliya [291]
First, it is important to know that speed is equal to distance divided by time. I took a picture of my work. Let me know if you still have questions or cannot read something I've written. Thank you!

The most Kilometers traveled per one hour was traveled by THE BOAT at 75 Km/h. Therefore, the boat had the fastestaverage speed.

Answer:

The length of JM is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 7x+5 and 8x are both equal, we can make this equation:

7x+5=8x

-7x     -7x

x=5

7(5)=35

35+5=40
