Answer:

56.42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial sample= y0 = 800

After 13 minutes , amount = 320

Y= y0e-kt

320 = 800e-k(13)

320/800 = e-k13

0.4 = e-k13

In0.4 = -k13

-0.91629= -k13

0.07048= k

Y = 800e-0.07048t

Minutes when the bacterial present will be 15

15 = 800e-0.07048t

15/800= e-0.07048t

0.01875 = e-0.07048t

In 0.01875 = -0.07048t

-3.97656 = -0.07048t

-3.97656/-0.07048= t

56.42 = t

56.42 minutes

Solve and state any extraneous solutions
Mice21 [21]

\frac{3x}{x - 1}  + 2 =  \frac{3}{x - 1}

\frac{3x}{x - 1} +  \frac{2(x - 1) }{ x - 1}   =  \frac{3}{x - 1}

\frac{3x}{x - 1}  +  \frac{2x - 2}{ x - 1}  =  \frac{3}{x - 1}

\frac{3x + 2x - 2}{ x - 1}  =  \frac{3}{x - 1}

3x + 2x - 2 = 3

5x - 2 = 3

5x = 3 + 2

5x = 5

x =  \frac{5}{5}

x = 1
