Bacteria can multiply at an alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two new cells, thus doubling. If we start with only one

bacteria which can double every hour, how many bacteria will we have by the end of one day? Show your work.

Answer:

y = a(b)^t

Where a =1 represent the initial amount of bacteria and b =2 represent the growth factor, for this case since each hour we double the number of bacteria for this reason b =2. And t represent the number of hours after the first bacteria is founded.

So then our model would be given by:

y = 1 (2)^t

And since we want to find the number of bacteria at the end of one day, and we know that one day = 24 hours we can replace the value of t =24 into the model and we got:

f(24) = 1 (2)^{24}=16777216

Then we can conclude that at the end of the day we would expect 16777216 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the exponential model given by this general expression:

y = a(b)^t

Where a =1 represent the initial amount of bacteria and b =2 represent the growth factor, for this case since each hour we double the number of bacteria for this reason b =2. And t represent the number of hours after the first bacteria is founded.

So then our model would be given by:

y = 1 (2)^t

And since we want to find the number of bacteria at the end of one day, and we know that one day = 24 hours we can replace the value of t =24 into the model and we got:

f(24) = 1 (2)^{24}=16777216

Then we can conclude that at the end of the day we would expect 16777216 bacteria

Suppose V is the midpoint of UW, and TV = XV. What additional information would you need to conclude that TUV = XWV using the SA
ladessa [460]

The SAS theorem states that if two sides and the included angle from a triangle are equal to two sides ans the included anfle from another triangle they are congruent.

The information that you would need to cloclude the congruency is that sides UV and VW are equal, and that the included angles are the sam on both triangles.

A regular square pyramid has base edges of length 16 and its lateral faces are inclined 30­° to the base of the pyramid. What is
Helga [31]

Answer:

1) h=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

2) V=\frac{2,048\sqrt{3}}{9}\ units^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the height of the pyramid

we know that

tan(30^o)=\frac{h}{(b/2)}

where

h is the height of the pyramid

b is the length side of the square base

we have

tan(30^o)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

b=16\ units

substitute

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{h}{(16/2)}

\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{h}{8}

h=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

Part 2) Find the volume of the pyramid

we know that

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

V=\frac{1}{3} Bh

where

B is the area of the square base

h is the height of the pyramid

we have

B=(16^2)=256\ units^2

h=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3}\ units

substitute

V=\frac{1}{3} (256)(\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3})

V=\frac{2,048\sqrt{3}}{9}\ units^3
