Answer:

Size can be defined by words such as - long , short

Shape can be defined by words such as - curved, hooked, slender, sharp etc.

Explanation:

The shape and size of beak depends on the purpose of is usage.

Hence,  the following terms can be used to describe the size and shape of a bird's beak -

1. Birds which prey their food have hooked beaks  which are strong and deep to make a firm catch on their food

2. Birds which feed on fruits have  sharp beaks

3. Birds which feed on fish have long, sharp and slender beak

4. Birds feeding on seeds have short and curved beaks

In an experiment, a certain colony of bacteria initially has a population of 50,000. A reading is taken every 2 hours, and at th
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1) Recursive definition: p_n = (50,000)3^n

2) At the beginning of the 4th interval

Explanation:

1)

The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is

p_0 = 50,000

Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so

n=2 h

And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.

This means that when n = 1,

p_1 = 3 p_0

And when n=2,

p_2 = 3 p_1 = 3(3p_0)=9 p_0

Applied recursively, we get

p_n = 3^n p_0

And substituting p0,

p_n = (50,000)3^n (1)

2)

Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are

p=1,350,000

bacteria.

This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as

1,350,000=(50,000)3^n

By simplifying,

27=3^n

Which means that

n=3

However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.
