Answer:

1)

t=5 hours.

2)

40960 cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientist studying bacteria begins with 20 cells.

The bacteria population doubles every hour.

Let P(t) determines the population of the bacteria in 't' hours.

Hence, by the given information our function P(t) is modeled as:

P(t)=20\times 2^t

Now, we have to find the value of 't' such that:

P(t)>500

i.e.

20\times 2^t>500\\\\\\2^t>\dfrac{500}{20}\\\\2^t>25

on taking logarithmic function on both side we get:

t\log 2>\log 25\\\\t>\dfrac{\log 25}{\log 2}\\\\t>4.64

i.e. after 5 hours the population of the bacteria will exceed 500.

Now we have to find the value of function P(t) when t=11.

i.e.

P(11)=20\times 2^{11}\\\\P(11)=20\times 2048\\\\P(11)=40960

Hence , the population of bacteria after 11 hours is:

40960 cells.

What is the square root of 100 times two divided by two
gogolik [260]

Answer:

10 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

√((100 * 2)/2)

Simplify. First, follow the Parenthesis. Combine 100 with 2

100 * 2 = 200

Next, divide by 2

200/2 = 100

Root 100

√100 = √10 * √10 = 10

10 is your answer

~

An easier way to solving this is to first cancel out the 2's ( multiplying 2 and dividing 2 would do nothing), and just square rooting 100, giving you the answer 10.
