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.

A farmer wants to build a rectangular pen which will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sides by a single-
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A) Dimensions;

Length = 20 m and width = 10 m

B) A_max = 200 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent width and length respectively.

He has 40 metres to use and he wants to enclose 3 sides.

Thus;

2x + y = 40 - - - - (eq 1)

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Thus;

A = xy - - - (eq 2)

From equation 1;

Y = 40 - 2x

Plugging this for y in eq 2;

A = x(40 - 2x)

A = 40x - 2x²

The parabola opens downwards and so the x-value of the maximum point is;

x = -b/2a

Thus;

x = -40/2(-2)

x = 10 m

Put 10 for x in eq 1 to get;

2(10) + y = 40

20 + y = 40

y = 40 - 20

y = 20m

Thus, maximum area is;

A_max = 10 × 20

A_max = 200 m²

Distribute then combine like terms : 0.2(3b-15c)<br>​
nignag [31]

Answer:

0.6b - 3c

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 0.2 and 3b

0.2 x 3b = 0.6b

Then multiply 0.2 and 15c

0.2 x 15c = 3c

We can't add these, 3c and 6b because they have different letters.

different letter vs. different letter =

don't add

different letter vs. normal number like 5 =

dont add

same letter vs. same letter =

add

normal number vs. normal number =

add

This all goes the same for dividing, subtracting, and multiplying

I hope this helped! :)

Find the area of the figure. Use 3.14 for st, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
inysia [295]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the composite figure = Area of the rectangle- area of the semicircle removed

= (length × width) - \frac{1}{2}(\pi )(r^{2} )

Since diameter of the semicircle is the width of the rectangle.

So, radius of the semicircle = \frac{3.8}{2}

= (3.8 × 9.2) - \frac{1}{2}(3.14)(\frac{3.8}{2})^{2}

= 34.96 - 5.6677

= 29.2923

≈ 29.3 in²

Therefore, area of the given composite figure is 29.3 in².

Option B is the correct option.
