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)}

When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank, the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity. what was th
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"When 200 gallons of oil were removed from a tank" algebraically looks like this:

V - 200.

"...the volume of oil left in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity" algebraically looks like this:

3/7(V)

Therefore, the equation is

V - 200 = 3/7(V)

Begin by multiplying both sides by 7:

7(V - 200) = 3V and

7V - 1400 = 3V so

-1400 = -4V so

V = 350 gallons

That's if the volume of the oil in the tank was 3/7 of the tank's capacity.

For the other part of the problem, we set up the equation almost the same, except the 3/7 is a 1/2:

V - 200 = 1/2(V)

Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you

2(V - 200) = V and

2V - 400 = V so

-400 = -V so

V = 400
