Answer:
7 days
Step-by-step explanation:
At 25% per day, it will take approximately 3 days to double the population, so approximately 6 days for the population to quadruple. Checking that number, we find it is not quite enough for the experiment, so another day is required.
"Guess and check" as a method of solution works especially well if you have an automated checker to evaluate your guess. A graphing calculator or spreadsheet can work well for this.
_____
We guess 3 days as the doubling time using the "rule of 72" that says the product of percentage and doubling time is about 72. That is, 72/25 ≈ 3. (This is only a very rough approximation of doubling time, best for rates near 8%.)
Answer:
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities.
Answer:
y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a parabola which opens upwards.
The distance of a point (x, y) from the focus is
√[(x - -8)^2 + (y - -1)^2] and
the distance of the point from the line y = -4
= y - -4
These distances are equal for a parabola so:
√[(x - -8)^2 + (y - -1)^2] = y + 4
Squaring both sides:
(x + 8)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = (y + 4)^2
x^2 + 16x + 64 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = y^2 + 8y + 16
x^2 + 16x + 64 + 1 - 16 = 8y - 2y
6y = x^2 + 16x + 49
y = 1/6 x^2 + 8/3 x + 49/6 is the equation of the parabola.
5136/8 is equal to 642.
You can use a calculator if you'd like.
