Answer

It will take (t) = 24 hours to reach 300 .

Step by step explanation

It doubles every 15 hours.  initial bacteria = 100

We need to find how long it take for the bacteria cells to increase to 300.

300 = 100(2)^t/15

300/100 = 2^t/15

3 = 2^t/5

Taking "ln" both sides, we get

ln(3) = t/15 ln(2)

t/15 = ln(3)/ln(2)

t/15 = 1.585

t = 1.585 * 15

t = 23.78 hours

t = 24 hours to nearest whole hours.

Thank you.

Vesnalui [34]
2(P+1)+3(P+2)>2
Distribute
2P+2+3P+6>2
Simplify
5P+8>2
Subtract 8 from both sides
5P>-6
Divide both sides by five
P>(-6/5)
Turn to mixed number and you're done.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first parabola has vertex (-1, 0) and y-intercept (0, 1).

We plug these values into the given vertex form equation of a parabola:

y - k = a(x - h)^2 becomes

y - 0 = a(x + 1)^2

Next, we subst. the coordinates of the y-intercept (0, 1) into the above, obtaining:

1 = a(0 + 1)^2, and from this we know that a = 1.  Thus, the equation of the first parabola is

y = (x + 1)^2

Second parabola:  We follow essentially the same approach.  Identify the vertex and the two horizontal intercepts.  They are:

vertex:  (1, 4)

x-intercepts:  (-1, 0) and (3, 0)

Subbing these values into y - k = a(x - h)^2, we obtain:

                                            0 - 4 = a(3 - 1)^2, or

                                                -4 = a(2)².  This yields a = -1.

Then the desired equation of the parabola is

y - 4 = -(x - 1)^2
