Answer:

An adult ticket is 17

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult price

c = child price

3a + 4c = 99

2a + 3c = 70

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(3a + 4c) = 99*2

6a + 8c = 198

Multiply the second equation by -3

-3 (2a + 3c) = 70*-3

-6a -9c = -210

Add these new equations together

6a + 8c = 198

-6a -9c = -210

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

     -c = -12

Multiply by -1

        c = 12

A childs ticket costs 12 dollars

Now we need to find the price of an adult ticket

2a + 3c = 70

2a + 3(12) = 70

2a +36 = 70

Subtract 36 from each side

2a +36-36 =70-36

2a = 34

Divide by 2

2a/2 = 34/2

a = 17

An adult ticket is 17

The doubling period of a bacterial population is 20 20 minutes. At time t = 100 t=100 minutes, the bacterial population was 9000
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The initial population was 2810

The bacterial population after 5 hours will be 92335548

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacterial population growth formula is:

P = P_0 \times e^{rt}

where P is the population after time t, P_0 is the starting population, i.e. when t = 0, r is the rate of growth in % and t is time in hours

Data: The doubling period of a bacterial population is 20 minutes (1/3 hour). Replacing this information in the formula we get:

2 P_0 = P_0 \times e^{r 1/3}

2 = e^{r \; 1/3}

ln 2 = r \; 1/3

ln 2 \times 3 = r

2.08 \% = r

Data: At time t = 100 minutes (5/3 hours), the bacterial population was 90000. Replacing this information in the formula we get:

90000 = P_0 \times e^{2.08 \; 5/3}

\frac{9000}{e^{2.08 \; 5/3}} = P_0

2810 = P_0

Data: the initial population got above and t = 5 hours. Replacing this information in the formula we get:

P = 2810 \times e^{2.08 \; 5}

P = 92335548
