Answer: a) 
b) 25165824000
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential equation for growth is given by :-
, where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.
Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.
i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2
Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :
To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get
Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.
Answer:
b = c - a - D
Step-by-step explanation:

20 divided by 40=2
20x40=800
800 divided by 40= 20
Answer:
V = 56.5 mi^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is given by
V = pi r^2 h where r is the radius and h is the height
V = pi ( 3)^2 (2)
V = 18 pi
Letting p = 3.14
V = 56.52 mi^3
Rounding to the nearest tenth
V = 56.5 mi^3
