The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate

parameter of
6.4
%

per hour. How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double?
Note: This is a continuous exponential growth model.

Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Log(2)/log(1.064) ≈ 11.17 . . . . hours

_____
The population can be given by
  p(n) = p₀×1.064ⁿ . . . . where n is the number of hours
You want to find n whe p(n) = 2*p₀.
  2p₀ = p₀×1.064ⁿ . . . . . . . . . . . . substitute the given information
  2 = 1.064ⁿ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by p₀
  log(2) = n×log(1.064) . . . . . . . . take logs to make it a linear equation
  log(2)/log(1.064) = n . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

write the equation of a parallel to the given line and passing through the given point. y=-x+7; (7,1) I need the answer now plea
leva [86]
Parallel lines have the same slope.  Since our reference line has a slope of -1, so will a line parallel to it.  Thus far we have:

y=-x+b, using point (7,1) we can solve for b

1=-7+b

8=b  so the parallel line passing through (7,1) is:

y=-x+8

The base of a parallelogram is 3 times the parallelogram's height.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

let height of ||g be 'b', then base of ||g be 3b.

area of ||g=base×height

75cm

2

=3b×b

b

2

=25

b=5cm, therefore height =5cm

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, 3) and (14, 0)?
Brut [27]

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph your points on a coordinate grid, you will see the rise/run. From the point -4, -3 to the point 14,0 ; there is a rise of 3 and a run of 18. The rise goes over the run and creates a fraction of 3/18 and 3/18 simplified is 1/6! Hope this helps!
