A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen

t bacteria grows at a rate of y=3t^2+t+300. In both of these eqiations y is the number of bacteria after t minutes. When is there an equal number of both types of bacteria.

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

y = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

y = 3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

3 {t}^{2}  - 2 {t}^{2}   + t  - 3t +  300 - 500 =00

{t}^{2}  - 2t  - 200= 0

We solve for t to get,

t = 15.177

Or

t =  - 13.177

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

t \approx15

Answer:

Option B. A = (5/6)^-⅛

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

We can obtain the value of A as follow:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

Cancel x from both side

5/6 = A¯⁸

Recall:

M¯ⁿ = 1/Mⁿ

A¯⁸ = 1/A⁸

Thus,

5/6 = 1/A⁸

Cross multiply

5 × A⁸ = 6

Divide both side by 5

A⁸ = 6/5

Take the 8th root of both sides

A = ⁸√(6/5)

Recall

ⁿ√M = M^1/n

Thus,

⁸√(6/5) = (6/5)^⅛

Therefore,

A = (6/5)^⅛

Recall:

(A/B)ⁿ = (B/A)¯ⁿ

(6/5)^⅛ = (5/6)^-⅛

Therefore,

A = (5/6)^-⅛

X 0,1,3,5 y 0,5,10,15 proportional
Julli [10]

Answer:

Yes. This is a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if you mean "Does the table represent a proportional relationship?" If you do, then the answer is yes it does.

When a linear function contains 0,0 then the relationship is proportional.

If the y intercept is anything but 0, then the relationship is not proportional either.
