Answer:

93 h

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 4300eᵏᵗ

1. Calculate the value of k

lnP = ln4300 + kt

ln5800 = ln4300 + k(40 h)

8.666 = 8.366 + 40k h

8.666 - 8.366 = 40k h

0.299 = 40 k h

k= 0.299/40 h = 7.481 × 10⁻³ h⁻¹

2. Calculate the time for the population to double

2 × 4300 = 4300eᵏᵗ

2 = eᵏᵗ

ln2 = kt

t = ln2/k = ln2/(7.481 × 10⁻³ h⁻¹) = 93 h

It takes 93 h for the population to double.

The depth of snow after n hours of a snowstorm is represented by the function f(n + 1) = f(n) + 0.8 where f(0) = 2.5. Which stat
Alja [10]
C

"When the storm began", it means it has been snowed for 0 hours, so n=0.
f(0)=2.5, thus the <span>depth of snow was 2.5 inches when the storm began.

f(n+1)=f(n)+0.8, so f(n+1)-f(n)=0.8
it means when the time increases by one hour, the depth of snow increases by 0.8 inches.</span>
