The growth of a population of bacteria can be modeled by an exponential function. The graph models the population of the bacteri

a colony P(t) as a function of the time t, in weeks, that has passed. The initial population of the bacteria colony was 500. What is the domain of the function? What does the domain represent in this context?

Answer:

t ≥0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information:

The initial population: 500

The graph models the population of the bacteria colony P(t) as a function of the time t, in weeks,

=> our function is: P(t) =500*b^{t} where b is the base number and it is ≥0

  • What is the domain of the function?

The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers greater than zero

<=> t ≥0 (because t present for the time and time can not have negative value)  

  • What does the domain represent in this context?

t  is the independent variable is this exponential function and the population of bacteria depends on the change of t.

Because it is the growth function so the range (the population of bacteria) increase over its domain (the time)

Hope it will find you well.

A bivariate data set has x = 21, sx = 13, y = 55, sy = 27, and r = .88. What is the equation for the regression line of y on x?
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

c) y=16.57+1.83x

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for regression line of y on x is given as

\hat{y}=mx+b --- (1)

where

\hat{y} = predicted value

m = slope of line

b = intercept

m and b are found as

m=r\frac{S_{y}}{S_{x}}---(2)\\\\b=\bar{y}-m\bar{x}---(3)

r = correlation coefficient = 0.88

Sx = standard deviation for independent variable x = 13

Sy = standard deviation for dependent variable y = 27

\bar{x} = mean value of independent variable x = 21

\bar{x} = mean value of dependent variable y = 55

Substituting these values in (2) and (3)

m=r\frac{S_{y}}{S_{x}}\\\\m=(0.88)\frac{27}{13}\\\\m=1.83

b=\bar{y}-m\bar{x}\\\\b=55-(1.827)(21)\\\\b=16.57

Putting these values of m and b in (1)

y=1.83x+16.57
