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

PLEASE HELP!<br> Given that m∠NMP=(5y+11)∘ and m∠OMP=(8y−13)∘, identify m∠NMO.
svlad2 [7]

Answer: 102

Step by Step Explanation:

5y+11=8y-13

-8      -8y

-3y+11=-13

     -11  -11

   <u> 3y </u>=<u> -24</u> = 8           y=8

    3y     3y

5(8)+11=51

Multiple 51 times 2 and you're answer will be the following.

On the first day in each month, Enid deposited $4 into her bank account and Jim deposited $3 into his. They opened these account
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The amount of money in Enid bank account can be written as a linear equation.

Ye = Xe + $4*m

where Ye is the money that Enid has in her account, m is the number of months that have passed since she opened it, and Xe is the initial deposit.

For Jim, the equation is similar:

Yj = Xj + $3*m

where Yj and Xj are similar as above.

Between May 15 and December 31 of the same year, we have 7 months (where i am counting December because the deposit is made in the first day of the month).

Then we have that:

Ye = $72 = Xe + $4*7 = Xe + $28

Xe = $72 - $28 = $44

So in May 15, Enid deposited $44.

For Jim we have:

Yj = $72 = Xj + $3*7 = Xj + $21

Xj = $72 - $21 = $51

So in May 15, Jim deposited $51.
