A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich

, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 40 cells. (a) Find the relative growth rate. k = hr−1 (b) Find an expression for the number of cells after t hours. P(t) = (c) Find the number of cells after 7 hours. cells

Answer:

a) k=2.07944 (1/hour)

b) P(t)=40e^{2.0794t}

c) P(7)=83,886,080

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cells duplicates after 20 minutes (t=1/3 hours).

We can write a model of that as:

\frac{dP}{dt}=kP\\\\\frac{dP}{P}=kdt\\\\\int \frac{dP}{P}=k\int dt\\\\ln(P)+C_1=kt\\\\P=Ce^{kt}\\\\\\P(0)=40=Ce^0=C\\\\C=40\\\\\\P(1/3)=80=40e^{k*(1/3)}\\\\e^{k*(1/3)}=80/40=2\\\\k/3=ln(2)\\\\k=3*ln(2)=2.07944

a) k=2.0794 h^(-1)

b) P(t)=40e^{2.0794t}

c) P(7)=40e^{2.0794*7}=40*e^{14.556}=40*2,097,152=83,886,080

A surveyor is measuring the distance across a small lake. He has set up his transit on one side of the lake 130 feet from a pili
Dimas [21]

Answer:

x = 225.16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The angle between the piling and the pier is 60°.

A surveyor has set up his transit on one side of the lake 130 feet from a piling that is directly across from a pier on the other side of the lake.

We need to find the distance between the piling and the pier. Let the distance be d. Using the trigonometry to find it as follows :

\tan(60)=\dfrac{x}{130}\\\\x=\tan(60)\times 130\\\\x=225.16\ feet

So, the required distance is 225.16 feet.

What is 20 - 15 x 2026 - 265 + 125
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Hey there!

Do PEMDAS to solve.

PEMDAS simply means….

• Parentheses
• Exponents
• Multiplication
• Division
• Addition
• Subtraction
~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~

20 - 15 * 2026 - 265 + 125

≈ 20 - 30,390 - 265 + 125

≈ -30,370 - 265 + 125

≈ -30,635 + 125

≈ −30,510


Therefore, your answer is: -30,510


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
