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.

Determine the rate of change of the following linear equation as it translates from (-5, -1) to any other point on the line.
Norma-Jean [14]
The rate of change of a linear equation (first degree) is equivalent to the slope of a line. Slope is described as the vertical movement (rise) of the line over its horizontal counterpart (run). In determining the rate of change or slope (m) given 1 data point (x',y'), point-slope form is applicable. Point-slope form is: (y-y') = m (x-x'). Substitute the given point (-5,-1) in the equation. By substitution, [y-(-1)] = m [x-(-5)]. Re-arranging the equation, the rate of change or slope is, m = (y+1)/(x+5).

Write an equation (any form) for the quadratic graphed below. Y=
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

y = -2x^2 - 4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the graph passes through (-2, -1), (-1, 1) and (0, -1).

Let's solve

ax^2 + bx + c = y

a(-2)^2 + b(-2) + c = -1

4a - 2b + c = -1

a(-1)^2 + b(-1) + c = 1

a - b + c = 1

a0^2 + b0 + c = -1

c = -1

we got c = -1 so we input it into the other 2

4a - 2b - 1 = -1

4a - 2b = 0

2a - b = 0

2a = b

a - b - 1 = 1

a - b = 2

a = b + 2

Let's input b = 2a

a = 2a + 2

-a = 2

a = -2

b = 2a = 2*(-2) = -4

c = -1

y = -2x^2 - 4x - 1

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertically Opposite Angles are equal..

so,

x + 54 = 4x \\ 54 = 4x - x \\ 54 = 3x \\  \frac{54}{3} =    \frac{3x}{3}  \\ 18  = x

Answer:

Anna has $36.39 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is subtract

54 - (26.34 + 1.27) =

54 - 27.61 =

36.39
