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)}

N the function y = 12.00x + 50, y represents the cost of carpet by the square yard and x represents the number of square yards.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The cost increase for each square of carpet by 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y=12.00x+50

It is a slope intercept form of the line

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

Therefore the slope of given function is 12 and the y-intercept is 50.

It means the initial ot fixed cost of the carpet is 50 and the cost increased by 12 for each square of carpet.

The loudness, L, measured in decibels (Db), of a sound intensity, I, measured in watts per square meter, is defined as mc024-1.j
Alex Ar [27]
We have the given I = 10^-1 and I₀ = 10^-12.

Simply plugging in the values to the equation, we have:
L = 10log(10^-1/10^-12)
L = 110 Db

The answer is D.

(I used a scientific calculator in solving for L).

What is the hyperbola 25x^2-100y-9y^2-90x-350=0 in standard form?
sergij07 [2.7K]
WE need to complete the square on the x and y terms:-

25x^2 - 100x - 9y^2 - 90y = 350
25(x^2 - 4x +    ) - 9(y^2 + 10x       )  =   350 + 25(  )  - 9(  )
25(x^2 - 4x  + 4 ) - 9(y^2 + 10x  + 25)  = 350  + 25(4)  - 9(25)
25(x - 2)^2 - 9(y + 5)^2 = 

25(x - 2)^2   -  9(y + 5)^2          =  225
----------------    --------------            --------
    225                 225                    225

  ( x  - 2)^2         (y + 5)^2  
  -------------   -   --------------  =    1         Answer
