The population of bacteria can be modeled by the function below, where t represents the time since the population started decayi

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I will assume the function is:

$f(t) = 15(0.86)^t$

Required

Determine the rate of decay

In an exponential function $f(x) = ab^x$ ,

The decay rate of the function is calculated as:

$1 - r = b$

By comparison:

$b = 0.86$

So, the equation becomes:

$1 - r = 0.86$

Make r the subject

$r = 1 - 0.86$

$r = 0.14$

<em>The rate of decay is 0.14</em>

A market buys mixed nuts at $16 per pound. In order to make a 75% profit, how much will the market charge you per pound?

drek231 [11]

For this, all you'll wanna do is add the answer to this problem to your original number...

16× .75 = 12

now add...

16 + 12 = 28$ per pound...

to make a 75% profit on the markets investment....I think I'll have a salad instead at that price...
