Wes works at a science lab that conducts experiments on bacteria. The population of the bacteria multiplies at a constant rate,

and his job is to notate the population of a certain group of bacteria each hour. At 1 p.m. on a certain day, he noted that the population was 2,000 and then he left the lab. He returned in time to take a reading at 4 p.m., by which point the population had grown to 250,000. Now he has to fill in the missing data for 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. What was the population at 3 p.m.?

Answer:

Correct answer: at 2 p.m. the population was 10,000

                          at 3 p.m. the population was 50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

At 1 p.m. population was 2,000

At 2 p.m. or after  first hour, the population of bacteria increases

in this way 2,000 · k  

At 3 p.m. or after second hour, the population of bacteria increases

2,000 · k²

At 4 p.m. or after third hour, the population of bacteria increases 2,000 · k³

2,000 · k³ = 250,000 =>  k³ = 250,000 / 2,000 = 125

k = ∛125 = 5  => k = 5

At 2 p.m. or after  first hour, the population of bacteria was 2,000 · 5 = 10,000

At 3 p.m. or after second hour, the population of bacteria was 2,000 · 5² =

= 2,000 · 25 = 50,000

Mark for review (Will be highlighted on the review page) 1. Solve this equation: 80 = 3y + 2y + 4 + 1.
saul85 [17]
First combine the like terms 3y + 2y to get 5y. Then combine 4 + 1 to get 5. Your equation will now be 80 = 5y + 5. To solve for y, 5 needs to be subtracted from both sides of the equation leaving 75 = 5y. Final step to solving for y, 5 needs to be divided from each side of the equation leaving the final answer of
15 = y.

Solve the equation on the<br> interval [0, 27r).<br> 4(sin x)2 - 2 = 0
Ket [755]

4[sin(x)]^2 - 2 = 0\implies 4[sin(x)]^2=2\implies [sin(x)]^2=\cfrac{2}{4}\implies [sin(x)]^2=\cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ sin(x)=\pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{2}}\implies sin^{-1}[sin(x)]=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{2}} \right)\implies x=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\sqrt{\cfrac{1}{2}} \right)

x=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\cfrac{\sqrt{1}}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\implies x=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)\implies x=sin^{-1}\left( \pm\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill x=\cfrac{\pi }{4}~~,~~\cfrac{3\pi }{4}~~,~~\cfrac{5\pi }{4}~~,~~\cfrac{7\pi }{4}~\hfill
