The population of bacteria in a certain culture can be modeled by the function P(t)=10000(1.03)^t. Is the population of bacteria
increasing or decreasing? Explain
2 answers:
Answer:
The population of bacteria is increasing.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function modelling the population of bacteria in the given culture is an exponential function; We have a base 1.03 and an exponent t. An exponential function is said to be increasing if the base is strictly greater than 1, this implies that the population of the bacteria is increasing as t increases from 0 to infinity.

Answer:
Options (B) and (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
If a triangle is a 30° - 60° - 90° triangle, measure of the angle between the leg and hypotenuse will be either 60° or 90°.
Therefore, by applying Cosine rule in the given options.
c² = a² + b² - 2abCosC
All the given options are the right triangles.
[Since they follow the Pythagoras theorem]
Option (A),
Angle between the sides having measures 3 and 5 units,
4² = 3² + 5² - 2(3)(5)CosC
16 = 9 + 25 - 30.CosC
30.CosC = 18
C = 33.56°
Therefore, this triangle is not a 30-60-90 triangle.
Option (B),
Angle between the sides measuring 5 and 10 units,
75 = 125 - 100(CosC)
Cos(C) = 0.5
C = 60°
Therefore, other angles of the triangle will be 30° and 90°.
And it's a 30°-60°-90° triangle.
Option (C),
10, 10, 10√2
It's a right triangle and the measure of legs are equal.
Since legs of this sides are equal, angles opposite to these equal sides will be equal.
Sum of all interior angles = 180°
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
If m∠B = 90°
m∠A + 90° + m∠C = 180°
2(m∠A) = 90°
m∠A = 45°
Therefore, the given sides make a 45°- 45°- 90° triangle.
Option (D).
Angle between the sides 3 and 6,
(3√3)² = 3² + 6² -2(3)(6)CosC
27 = 9 + 36 - 36.(CosC)
CosC =
C =
C = 60°
Therefore,
These sides make a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle.
Options (B) and (D) are the 30°- 60°- 90° triangle.
