Answer:

98,000 bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the formula:

P=le^{kt}

Where l is the initial population, k is the rate of growth, and t is the time ( in hours).

We know that it has an initial population of 500. So, l is 500.

We also know that the population grows to 7000 after 2 hours.

And we want to find the population after 4 hours.

First, since we know that the population grows to 7000 after 2 hours, let's substitute 2 for t and 7000 for P. Let's also substitute 500 for l. This yields:

7000=500e^{2k}

Divide both sides by 500:

e^{2k}=14

We can solve for the rate k here, but this is not necessary. In fact, when can find our solution with just this.

Let's go back to our original equation. We want to find the population after 4 hours. So, substitute 4 for t:

P=500e^{4k}

We want to find the total population, P. Notice that we can rewrite our exponent as:

P=500(e^{2k})^2

This is the exact same thing we acquired earlier. So, we know that the expression within the parentheses is 14. Substitute:

P=500(14)^2

Square and multiply:

P=500(196)=98000

So, after 4 hours, there will be 98,000 bacteria.

And we're done!

These questions are in Spanish, someone who knows Spanish, the topic is mathematics, please.
olganol [36]

The interest that Marcos will get is 50000.

<h3>How to calculate the interest?</h3>

The following can be deduced from the information given:

Principal = 50000

Interest rate = 12.5%

Time = 8 years

The simple interest will be:

= (PRT/100)

= (50000 × 12.5 × 8)/100

= 50000

The amount that will be obtained after 8 years will be:

= Principal + Interest

= 50000 + 50000

= 10000

How to solve for the shaded region
k0ka [10]
The shaded region is a triangle. Triangle area can be determined with formula
a = 1/2 × b × h

From the question, we know that the triangle consists of
base = 10 - 6 = 4 m
and the height is the dimension which is perpendicular to the base,
height = 6 m

Find the triangle area
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 4 × 6
a = 1/2 × 24
a = 12

The area of the shaded region is 12 m²

  (2.25 mi)(1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1.8 +1.8) = (2.25 mi)(8.6)

Then in 2 weeks, he jogs ...

  2(2.25)(8.6) mi = 38.70 mi
