The population of bacteria in a culture doubles every 14 hours. How long will it take for

Mathematics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
4 0

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

What is the area of the polygon
Paul [167]
Split this figure into 3 shapes: 2 triangles and 1 trapezoid

Area of top triangle = 1/2(7)(2) = 7 square units
Area of bottom triangle = 1/2(3)(7) = 10.5 square units
Area of trapezoid = 1/2(3 + 6)(4) = 18 square units

Area of the polygon = 7 + 10.5 + 18 = 35.5 square units

What is the value of the 24th term is the fourth term is 6 and the eighth term is 8
Alina [70]

The value of the 24th term is 16.

<h3>Arithmetic progression:</h3>
  • aₙ = a + (n -  1)d

where

a = first term

d = common difference

n = number of terms

Therefore,

6 = a + 3d

8 = a + 7d

let's find a and d

2 = 4d

d = 2 / 4

d = 1 / 2

6 = a + 3 / 2

a = 6 - 3 /2

a = 4.5

Therefore, the 24th term can be found as follows;

24th term = 4.5 + 23(0.5)

24th term = 4.5 + 11.5

24th term = 16

How to find horizontal asymptotes with x as an exponent analytically?
tiny-mole [99]
When the base is greater than 1, the value approaches zero as the exponent goes to -∞. When the base is less than 1, the value approaches zero as the exponent goes to ∞. Whatever additions or factors you have that modify the exponential term will modify the asymptote accordingly.
