Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
f is given as -3
-3 is greater than -4, so use the second equation 3x-5.
replace x with -3 and calculate:
3(-3) - 5 = -9 - 5 = -14
The answer is -14.

Answer:
The median
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the sample section of the 5 different prices, you can see that $2,000 is very far away from the rest of the prices, which range from $14,000 to $17,000. This $2,000 is an outlier, and is likely not accurate in predicting reasonable prices for Hank's bike, so it should not be a factor in his decision or contribute to the mean value.
