Answer:

\frac{log(6400)}{log(4)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial population of bacteria is 800 and we know that this number is quadrupling every hour.

<u>We're going to find a function in terms of t (time) that gives us the population of bacteria at that time.</u>

Since the population is quadrupling every hour the function in terms of t (where t is expressed in hours) is:

f(t)=800(4^{t})

Now we need to find the time when there will be 5,120,000 bacterias. This means the time t when f(t) = 5,120,000

So we have 5,120,000 = 800(4^{t})

5,120,000 = 800(4^{t})\\\frac{5,120,000}{800} =4^{t} \\6400=4^{t} \\log(6400) =t log(4)\\\frac{log(6400)}{log(4)} =t

Therefore, the time when there will be 5,120,000 bacterias will be:

\frac{log(6400)}{log(4)}

That is weird but here it is again
borishaifa [10]

Answer: 3.6 feet per year

Pick any column and divide the feet over the years

eg: 7.2/2 = 3.6 (column 1)

You can think of it as the ratio

7.2 feet: 2 years

and then divide both sides by 2 to get "1 year" on the right side

7.2 feet: 2 years

7.2/2 feet: 2/2 years

3.6 feet: 1 year

Solve the following proportion for the unknown variable: 15/d = 24/40
Pavel [41]
<span><u><em>Answer:</em></u>
d = 25

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
To get the value of d, we will need to isolate the d on one side of the equation.

<u>This can be done as follows:</u>
</span>\frac{15}{d} =  \frac{24}{40}<span>

<u>First, we will do cross multiplication as follows:</u>
40*15 = 24*d
600 = 24d

<u>Then, we will isolate the d as follows:</u>
24d = 600
</span>\frac{24d}{24} =  \frac{600}{24}
<span>
d = 25

Hope this helps :)</span>

A farmer is tracking the amount of corn his land is yielding each year. He finds that the function f(x) = −x2 + 20x + 50 models
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The crop yield increased by 9 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we are using the average rate of change formula: Av=\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}, where:

x_2 is the second point in the function

x_1 is the first point in the function

f(x_2) is the function evaluated at the second point

f(x_1) is the function evaluated at the first point

We know that the first point is 1 year and the second point is 10 years, so x_1=1 and x_2=10. Replacing values:

Av=\frac{-(10)^2+20(10)+50-[-(1)^2+20(1)+50]}{10-1}

Av=\frac{-100+200+50-[-1+20+50]}{9}

Av=\frac{150-[69]}{9}

Av=\frac{150-69}{9}

Av=\frac{81}{9}

Av=9

Since f(x) represents the number of pounds per acre and x the number of years, we can conclude that the crop yield increased by 9 pounds per acre from year 1 to year 10.
