Answer:

a) The relation between y and t is

y(t)=8.6e^{ln(2)\cdot t/5}

b) y(6) = 19.8 mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The question is incomplete: "The area covered by a certain population of bacteria increases according to a continuous exponential growth model. Suppose that a sample culture has an initial area of </em><em>8.6 mm^2</em><em> and an observed doubling time of </em><em>5 days</em><em>. (a)Let be the time (in days) passed, and let </em><em>y</em><em> be the area of the sample at time . Write a formula relating </em><em>y</em><em> to </em><em>t</em><em>. Use exact expressions to fill in the missing parts of the formula. Do not use approximations. (b)What will the area of the sample be in </em><em>6</em><em> days?</em>

As the area covered increases according to a continous growth model, we start with these relation:

y(t)=Ce^{kt}

We know that the initial area y(0) is 8.6. Then:

y(0)=Ce^0=C=8.6\\\\C=8.6

We also know that the area duplicates after 5 days.

y(t+5)=2y(t)\\\\\frac{y(0+5)}{y(0)} =2=\frac{e^{0+5k}}{e^0} =e^{5k}\\\\5k=ln(2)\\\\k=ln(2)/5\approx0.14

Then, the model becomes:

y(t)=8.6e^{ln(2)\cdot t/5}

b) We have to calculate y(6)

y(6)=8.6e^{ln(2)\cdot 6/5}=8.6e^{ 0.832}=8.6*2.297=19.758

It’s 11:45 and you have an awesome appointment in 3 hours and 25 minutes. What time is your appointment? Please HELP!
stiks02 [169]

Answer: The time would be 3:00

There are 60 minute per hour. If it is 11:45, it's 25 minutes until 12:10. Once it is 12:10, the next hour (after 50 minutes) would be  1:00. so if you take 11:45 and add the 25 minutes from 3 hours and 25 minutes, it is 12:10 and you are left with 3 hours. 3 hours after 12:10 is 3:10

The function M(s) = 225 + 0.65s represents the material cost of manufacturing gardening scissors when s scissors are produced. T
Llana [10]

Answer:

\frac{279 + 1.8s}{s}                                                        

Step-by-step explanation:

The  material cost of manufacturing gardening scissors when s scissors are produced : M(s) = 225 + 0.65s

The labor cost for producing s scissors: L(s) = 54 + 1.15s

So, total cost of producing s scissors =  M(s)+L(s)

                                                              =  225 + 0.65s+54 + 1.15s

                                                              =  279 + 1.8s          

So, total cost for s scissors =  279 + 1.8s    

So, manufacturing cost for 1 scissor=  \frac{279 + 1.8s}{s}                                                        

Hence the manufacturing cost per scissors is  \frac{279 + 1.8s}{s}
