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)}

It takes a hose 2 minutes to fill a rectangular aquarium 12 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 14 inches tall. How long will it ta
rusak2 [61]

Volume of the first aquarium =  (12" x 13" x 14") = 2,184 inches³

Volume of the second aquarium = (32" x 34" x 35") = 38,080 inches³

The second aquarium has (38,080 / 2,184) = 17.44 times as much
volume as the first aquarium has.

So it'll take the hose  17.44 times as long to fill the second one

                              =  (17.44) x (2 minutes)  =  34.9 minutes.
