Answer:

It takes 1.77 hours for the population to double.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for population growth:

The equation for population growth, after t hours, with a growth rate parameter of r, as a decimal, is given by:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t

Growth rato parameter of 48% per hour

This means that r = 0.48. So

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t

P(t) = P(0)(1+0.48)^t

P(t) = P(0)(1.48)^t

How many hours does it take the size of the sample to double?

This is t for which P(t) = 2P(0). So

P(t) = P(0)(1.48)^t

2P(0) = P(0)(1.48)^t

(1.48)^t = 2

\log{(1.48)^t} = \log{2}

t\log{1.48} = \log{2}

t = \frac{\log{2}}{\log{1.48}}

t = 1.77

It takes 1.77 hours for the population to double.

7 Find the slope of the line that passes
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

y=1.6x+7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find m or the slope so use the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 and you get your slope which is 1.6.

Then you plug in your slope to the equation including another coordinate or example (3,12) plugged in to make 12=1.6(3)+b. Now you can solve for b.

Once you do that you get b=7.2

So now with m=1.6 and b=7.2, you can finally make the equation.

y=1.6x+7.2

(10 + 3x) = 5x<br> Solve please
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

10 +3x = 5x

Subtract 3x from each side

10+3x-3x= 5x-3x

10 =2x

Divide each side by 2

10/2 = 2x/2

5 =x
