The number of yeast cells in a laboratory culture increases rapidly initially but levels off eventually. the population is model

ed by the function n = f(t) = a 1 + be−0.5t where t is measured in hours. at time t = 0 the population is 20 cells and is increasing at a rate of 8 cells/hour. find the values of a and
b.

Answer:

a=40.33 and b = -0,5041

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

n = a[1 + b^(e - 0.5t)]

When t =0 we have 20 = a(1+b)  ... i

Increase rate = 8 cells per hour

Hence when t=1, n =28

i.e. 28 = a(1+be^(-0.5)) = a(1+0.6066b) = 28 ... i

Divide ii by i

28/20 = 1+0.6066b/1+b

28+28b = 20+12.1312b

15.869b= -8

b = -0.5041

Substitute in 20 = a(1+b)

20 = a(0.4959)

a=40.33

thus answer is a = 40.33 and b=-0.5041

Suppose the total benefit of watching 1 baseball game is 100, the total benefit of watching 2 games is 120, and the total benefi
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The marginal benefit of an article, B_m is calculated as:

B_m=\frac{DB_t}{DQ}

Where DB_t is the change in the total benefit of the article, and DQ is the change in the units of the article.

If we want to know the marginal benefit of watching the 3rd game, we need to use the information of total benefit of watching 2 games and 3 games.

In this case, the total benefit of watching 2 games is 120 and the total benefit of watching 3 games is 125, so DB_t and DQ are equal to:

DB_t=125-120=5

DQ = 3 - 2 = 1

Then, the marginal benefit of watching the third game is:

B_m=\frac{5}{1}=5
