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

parameter of 8.3%
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.​

It takes 8.35 hours for the size of the sample to double

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the continuous exponential growth model is

A=Pe^{rt} , where

  • A is the new value
  • P is the initial value
  • r is the rate of growth or decay  in decimal
  • t is the time

∵ The growth rate is 8.3%

∴ r = 8.3 ÷ 100 = 0.083

∵ The size of the sample will doubled in t hours

∴ A = 2 P

Use the formula of the contentious exponential growth above

∵ 2P=Pe^{0.083t}

- Divide both sides by P

∴ 2=e^{0.083t}

- Insert ㏑ in both sides

∴ ln(2)=ln(e^{0.083t})

- Remember ln(e^{n})=n because ㏑(e) = 1

∴ ln(2)=0.083t

- Divide both sides by 0.083

∴ \frac{ln(2)}{0.083}=t

∴ t = 8.35 hours to the nearest hundredth

It takes 8.35 hours for the size of the sample to double

You want to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the x-axis the region under the curve y = x 1 / 6 y=x1/6 fro
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Area = πr², where "r" is some distance "y" and/or the function "(1/6)x"; depending on the situation

Step-by-step explanation:

If I'm picturing this correctly, you'll have conical shape after revolving the function about the x-axis. If you took some generic slice and wanted to find the area of the resulting cross-section, then you would have a circle whose radius is some arbitrary value of the line that matches the slice.

For example:

y = (1/6)x right?

If you took a slice at x = 2, then the radius of the resulting cross-sectional circle would be equal to y = (1/6)•2 =1/3.

From here you just plug it into the area of a circle, πr², to get an area of π/3.

Except with an integral you need to take all the points on the interval, so the radius comes out to be the function itself.

Assuming your integral is in terms of dx, r=y. But in order to integrate in terms of dx you must replace "y" with its function (1/6)x. So ultimately r=(1/6)x and Area = π(1/6)x.

How to solve the mindbender
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from the top square to the bottom square, multiply by - 3 So the middle position of the bottom square is - 30. If  you solve all of the top square, you can get the bottom square easily enough.

The diagonal of the top square adds to 13 + 10 + 7  = 30

The top line of the top square must add to 30 as well 13 + 11 + 6. Put 6 in the middle position.

The right hand vertical line must add to 30. 11 + 7 + 12 = 30

The middle row must add to 30. 10 + 12 + 8. 8 goes in the left position of the middle row.

Let's summarize what we have so far.

13  6   11

8   10  12

           7

We can fill in the last two spaces by adding to 30

13  6   11

8   10   12

9    14   7

That completes the top magic square.

To get the bottom magic square, multiply by  -3

- 39 - 18  -33

-24  -30  -36

-27  -42   -21
