Answer: y = 54(1.06)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

It is estimated that the population of bacteria will increase by 6% each hour. This is an exponential growth. The formula for determining exponential growth is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 54

r = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Therefore, the formula for the population of bacteria is

y = 54(1 + 0.06)^t

y = 54(1.06)^t

Ax+3=23 if a=0 plz help
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

x = \frac{23}{a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

ax + 3 = 23

To solve this equation for the value of x isolate the variable 'x' on the one side of the equation.

Step 1,

Subtract 3 from both the sides of the equation.

ax + 3 - 3 = 23 - 3

ax = 20

Step 2,

Divide the equation by a,

\frac{ax}{a}=\frac{23}{a}

x = \frac{23}{a}

Therefore, x = \frac{23}{a} will be the answer.

He rain caused the river to ride a total of 6 2/3 inches. The river was rising at an average of 2/3 of an inch each hour. How ma
Kobotan [32]
To find out how many hours it rained, divide the total rise in the river by the amount it rose every hour.

\sf 6\dfrac{2}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}

First convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, which becomes our new numerator, and we keep the denominator the same:

\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\div\dfrac{2}{3}

When dividing fractions we flip(the reciprocal) the one we're dividing by and multiply:

\sf\dfrac{20}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{2}

Multiply the numerators and denominators together:

\sf\dfrac{60}{6}

Simplify by dividing:

\boxed{\sf 10}

So it rained for 10 hours.
