⦁ Suppose that the number of bacteria in a dish increases by 50% every four hours. there are 64 bacteria initially. write a func

tion that describes the number of bacteria after t hours have passed. use your function to find out how many bacteria there will be after 100 hours.

Starting with N = N₀·(1+r)^(t/4)
where N is the number of bacteria at t hours, r is the growth rate, and N₀ is the initial number of bacteria
N₀ = 64
r = 50% = 0.5
So the formula is:
N = 64 · (1+0.5)^(t/4)
N = 64·(1.5)^(t/4)

So after 100 hours,
N = 64 · (1.5)²⁵ = 1.6×10⁶
There are 1.6×10⁶ bacteria at 100 hours.

It increases 50% every 4 hours.

Let the initial amount be N

After 4 hours, it increases by 50%, so it becomes 1.5*N
(50% increase is multiplying by a factor of 100% + 50% = 150% = 1.5)

After 4 hours again it will be multiplied by 1.5.

For the t hours, we need to know how many 4 hours are there

= (t/4)

So the increase will be:  1.5 * 1.5* 1.5*......N

The number of 1.5 will be equal to the number of 4 hours in t hours = (t/4)

Function = 1.5^{ \frac{t}{4} } N

After 100 hours, t = 100, N = 64

Amount there will be =  (1.5^{ \frac{100}{4} })*64  

= (1.5^25) * 64

≈ 1616074.77

Hope this explains it.

Use the discriminant to find all values of b for which the question has one real solution.
Arada [10]
Use the formula 0 = b^2-4ac

0 = -b^2-4(2)(-9)

0 = -b^2+72

b^2 = 72

b = square root of 72

b = 2 real numbers

Question 3 (Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

g(x) = x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is given as:

f(x) = x + 8

We want to find a new function that results after shifting f(x), 2 units to the right.

Let that function be g(x), then

g(x) = f(x - 2)

We replace x by x-2 in f(x) to get:

g(x) = x - 2 + 8

When we simplify, we obtain:

g(x) = x + 6

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{11}{2} x + 30 \frac{1}{2}

or

y = 30 \frac{1}{2}  -  \frac{11}{2} x

if accepted:

2y =  - 11x + 61

or

2y = 61 - 11x
