Answer:

y = 10852 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is exponential growth

y = a  b^x  where a is the initial amount , b is the growth rate and x is the time

At time 0, we have 5000 bacteria

5000 = a * b^0

5000 = a *1

a = 1

At 4 hours, we have 6000 bacteria

6000 = 5000 * b^4

Divide each side by 5000

6000/5000 = b^4

6/5 = b^4

Take the 4th root of each side

(6/5)^(1/4) = (b^4)^(1/4)

1.046635139 = b

Our equation is

y = 5000 (1.046635139) ^ x

We want to find the number of bacteria present after 17 hours

y = 5000 (1.046635139)^17

y=10851.51313

To the nearest whole number

y = 10852 bacteria

nika2105 [10]
The delivery driver has to make deliveries at 5 locations <span>among the 6 locations. </span>This means the order of the probability is important because the route he will take from A to B is different with A to C.
So, you need to use permutation for this problem. The calculation would be:
6P5= 6!/ (6-5)!= 720 different routes
