Answer:

After 8 hour there will be 317.64 pounds of algae.

y-intercept: (0, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

At time = 0 hours, there are 50 pounds of algae, after 3 hour there will be 100 pounds of algae, after 6 hour there will be 200 pounds of algae, and so on.

Exponential growth is modeled by the following equation:

y = x0*(1 + r)^t

where x0 is the amount of algae at the beginning, r is the rate of change, and y is the amount of algae after t hours. Replacing with data:

100 = 50*(1 + r)^3

2 = (1 + r)^3

ln(2) = 3*ln(1 + r)

r = exp(ln(2)/3) - 1

r = 0.26

This result can be checked as follows

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^6 = 200

After 8 hours:

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^8 = 317.64

The y-intercept corresponds to t = 0

y = 50*(1 + 0.26)^0 = 50

One number is seven more than twice another . If their sum is decreased my ten the result is twelve. Find the numbers
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you need to create a system of equations.

We can name one number x and the other y.

First equation: 2x + 7 = y

Second equation: x + y - 10 = 12, or x + y = 22.

We know y = 2x + 7, so we can substitute that into the second equation.

x + 2x + 7 = 22.

3x = 15

x = 5.

Plug x back into the first equation:

2 · 5 + 7 = y.

y = 10 + 7

y = 17.
