Answer:

2000=1000 (8)^t

If we dicide both sides by 1000 we got:

2 = 8^t

Now we can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln (2)= ln (8^t) = t ln(8)

And solving for t we got:

t = \frac{ln(2)}{ln(8)}=0.333

So then we can conclude that every 0.333 seconds the amount of bacteria is doubled under the model assumed.

The number of bacteria is doubled every  0.333 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following model given for the number of bacteria after t seconds:

N(t) = 1000 (8)^t

We want to find the time that is required to double the number of bacteria. If we analyze the function we see that the initial amount for t=0 is 1000. And if we want to double this amount we need to have 2000. And using this we have:

2000=1000 (8)^t

If we dicide both sides by 1000 we got:

2 = 8^t

Now we can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln (2)= ln (8^t) = t ln(8)

And solving for t we got:

t = \frac{ln(2)}{ln(8)}=0.333

So then we can conclude that every 0.333 seconds the amount of bacteria is doubled under the model assumed.

The number of bacteria is doubled every  0.333 seconds

How do you factor out the coefficient of the variable
murzikaleks [220]
Factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer. In this case, the three terms have a 3x in common, which leaves: Step 3: Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.

(the dimensions are shown in the picture)
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Total surface area of the prism =145.32 Square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is a rectangular prism with the given dimensions of :

length(L)= 10.3 cm

Width(W)=2.2 cm

Height(H)=4 cm

Total surface area of the rectangular prism is:

= 2(L*W+W*H+H*L)\\\\=2((10.3*2.2)+(2.2*4)+(4*10.3))\\\\=2(22.66+8.8+41.2)\\\\=2(72.66)\\\\=145.32cm^2\\\\

Total surface area of the prism is 145.32 Square centimeters

Please help, Algebra 1
Svetach [21]
3px = 2q(r-5x)
distribute
2qr - 10qx
3px = 2qr - 10qx

To solve for x
add 10qx to both sides
3px + 10qx = 2qr
factor out x
x(3p+10q) = 2qr
divide both sides by 3p+10q to isolate x
x = 2qr / <span>(3p+10q)

Hope this helps :)</span>
