Answer:

  16.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the initial value (100) and the growth factor (2), along with the period associated with that growth factor (12 hours). This lets you write the exponential growth equation as ...

  n = 100×2^(t/12)

For n=260, we can divide by 100 and take the log.

  260 = 100×2^(t/12)

  2.6 = 2^(t/12)

  log(2.6) = (t/12)log(2) . . . . next, divide by the coefficient of t

  12×log(2.6)/log(2) = t ≈ 16.5 . . . . hours

It will be about 16.5 hours until there are 260 bacteria present.

Answer: 16.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

this is an example of exponential growth

P = initial * (rate)^x

there are 100 bacteria initially and the rate is 2 since they double, and x would be t/12, because it takes 12 hours to double

so the equation is P = 100 * 2^(t/12)

now substitute 260 in for P and solve for t

260 = 100 * 2^(t/12)

2.6 = 2^(t/12)

t/12 = log_{2}2.6

t = 12(log_{2}2.6)

t = 16.5 hours

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 32 more than 9/5 times the temperature in degrees Celsius . One day the high tempe
bazaltina [42]

The high temperature is 35 degree celsius

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 32 more than 9/5 times the temperature in degrees Celsius

Let "f" be the temperature in degree Fahrenheit

Let "c" be the temperature in degree celsius

Therefore,

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit = 32 + \frac{9}{5} times the temperature in degrees Celsius

f = 32 + \frac{9}{5} \times c

One day the high temperature in Edison. Nj was 95 degrees Fahrenheit

f = 95 ; c = ?

Substitute f = 95 in above equation

95 = 32 + \frac{9c}{5}\\\\95=\frac{32 \times 5 +9c}{5}\\\\95 \times 5 = 160+9c\\\\475 = 160 + 9c\\\\9c = 475 - 160\\\\9c = 315\\\\c = 35

Thus high temperature in degrees Celsius is 35 degree celsius

How many different committees can be formed from 12 teachers Abs 43 students of the committee consists of 4 teachers and 3 stude
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

6108795

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the number of ways the committee can be selected :

4 teachers from the 12 teachers available and 3 students from the 43 students available

Using combinatorics :

12C4 * 43C3

recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n - r)!r!

Using calculator :

12C4 = 495

43C3 = 12341

12C4 * 43C3

495 * 12341

= 6108795

Pleeeease help me translate the following sentence into an equation using n to represent the unknown number. Then solve the equa
anygoal [31]
Six more than: 6 + or + 6
twice a number: let n represent the unknown number: 2n

6 + 2n = 16

So, the answer is either c or d

So, solve the equation

Subtract 6 on both sides of the equation

2n=10

Divide by 2 on both sides of the equation

n=5

So, the answer is C
