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

On the coordinate plane below, Point P is located at (2,-3), and point Q is located at (-4,4).
nadezda [96]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the distance formula

d = sqrt (   ( y2-y1)^2 + ( x2-x1) ^2)

d = sqrt (   ( 4- -3)^2 + ( -4 -2) ^2)

   = sqrt (  ( 7^2  + ( -6)^2)

   = sqrt( 49+ 36)

   = sqrt(85)

      9.219544457

Rounding to the nearest whole number

 = 9
