Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{0.0462 min}^{-1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

One formula for the reproduction of bacteria is

\dfrac{N}{N_{0}} = e^{kt}

Data:

N = 2

N₀ = 1

  t = 15 min

Calculation:

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{N}{N_{0}}& =& e^{kt}\\\\\dfrac{2}{1}& = & e^{k\times15 \text{ min}}\\\\2 & = & e^{15k \text{ min}}\\\ln 2 & = & 15k \text{ min}\\k & = & \dfrac{\ln2 }{\text{15 min}}\\\\& = & \textbf{0.0462 min}^{\mathbf{-1}}\\\\\end{array}\\\text{The value of the constant k is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0462 min }^{\mathbf{-1}}}$}

A total of $12,000 is invested at an annual interest rate of 9%. Find the balance
sineoko [7]

Answer:

$18,726.11

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the compound interest formula provided to solve this:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First lets change 9% into a decimal:

9% -> \frac{9}{100} -> 0.09

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, we will use 4 for n. Lets plug in the values now:

A=12,000(1+\frac{0.09}{4})^{4(5)}

A=18,726.11

<u>The balance after 5 years is $18,726.11</u>
