Answer: a) N(t)=1500(2)^t

b) 25165824000

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential equation for growth is given by :-

y= ab^t , where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.

Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.

i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2

Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :

N(t)=1500(2)^t

To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get

N(24)=1500(2)^{24}\\\\=1500(16777216)=25165824000

Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.

A(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1)a(n)=−5+6(n−1)a, left parenthesis, n, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 5, plus, 6, left parenthesis, n, min
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The 12th term is 61

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your a(n) = -5 + 6(n - 1) is correct; the rest is redundant (duplicative, unneeded).

To find the 12th term, substitute 12 for n in the above formula:

a(12) = -5 + 6(12 - 1) = -5 + 6(11) = 66 - 5, or 61

The 12th term is 61
