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.

Only answer if u know the answer ​
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Angle C = 142 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B = 90

B+C = 180

Rearrange first equation to get B = 90-A

Plug this into the second equation:

90-A + C = 180

C = A + 90

Plug in A, C = 52 + 90 = 142
