Answer:  22 hours 11 minutes

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

P=P_o\cdot e^{(kt)}\\\\\text{Since the initial population is doubled in 14 hours, then:}\\2P_o=P_o\cdot e^{k\cdot 14}\\2=e^{14k}\\ln\ 2=ln\ e^{14k}\\ln\ 2=14k\\\\\dfrac{ln\ 2}{14}=k\\\\0.0495=k\\\\\\\text{Now that the k-value has been determined, we can find the time when the}\\\text{population is tripled:}\\3P_o=P_o\cdot e^{0.0495t}\\3=e^{0.0495t}\\ln\ 3=ln\ e^{0.0495t}\\ln\ 3=0.0495t\\\\\dfrac{ln\ 3}{0.0495}=5\\\\22.19=t\\\\22\ hrs +0.19\ hrs

22\ hours + \bigg[\dfrac{19}{100}=\dfrac{x}{60}\bigg]\\\\22\ hours + 11\ minutes

Indicate a general rule for the nth term of this sequence. -6b, -3b, 0b, 3b, 6b. . .
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a(n) = -16b + (n - 1)(3b)

Step-by-step explanation:

First term is -6b.

Common difference is 3b; each new term is equal to the previous one, plus 3b.

Formula for this arithmetic sequence is

a(n) = -16b + (n - 1)(3b)

Solve 3(a + 3) – 6 = 21.
tester [92]

Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...

3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)

3a+9-6=21

3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)

3a=21-3

3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)

a=18/3

a=6

to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a

3(a+3)-6=21

3(6+3)-6=21

3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)

29-6=21

21=21

10 POINTS!!! FULL ANSWER IN STEP BY STEP FORMAT!!
Lilit [14]
After a little manipulation, the given diff'l equation will look like this:

e^y * dy = (2x + 1) * dx.
                                                             x^2
Integrating both sides, we get e^y = 2------- + x + c, or e^y = x^2 + x + c
                                                               2

Now let x=0 and y = 1, o find c:

e^1 = 0^2 + 0 + c.  So, c = e, and the solution is e^y = x^2 + x + e.
