During the exponential phase, E. coli bacteria in a culture increase in number at a rate proportional to the current population.

If the growth rate is 1.9% per minute and the current population is 172.0 million, what will the population be 7.2 minutes from now?

Answer:

  197.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...

  p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)

Then we can compute for t=7.2:

  p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2

7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.

___

For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...

  f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)

where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.

Let f(x)=3x^2-8 and let g(x)=4x+1. Find the given value f[g(-1)]
lana [24]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

f(x)=3x²-8

g(x)=4x+1

g(-1) = 4(-1)+1

g(-1) = -4 + 1

g(-1) = -3

hence

f[g(-1)]

= f(-3)

= 3(-3)²-8

= 3(9) - 8

= 19

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y = mx + b

m being the slope, rise over run. And b being the y-intercept. Right off the bat we can visually see the y-intercept is -4.

To find slope, we need to take two sets of coords and apply the slope fomula. The slope fomula is change in y divided by the change in x. The function itself is straight, so that means the slope will be the exact same no matter which points you choose.

(4, -1) and (8, 2) are coords on the line. Do 2 - (-1) to get 3. then do 8 - 4 to get 4. Finally, we just gotta do 3/4 which is simply \frac{3}{4}.

We have the slope of 3/4 and we have the y-intercept of -4. Just plug it in the standard formula of y = mx + b to get:

y=\frac{3}{4} x-4
