Answer:

The population is of 500 after 10.22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the population of a certain organism is proportional to the population at time t, in hours.

This means that the population can be modeled by the following differential equation:

\frac{dP}{dt} = Pr

In which r is the growth rate.

Solving by separation of variables, then integrating both sides, we have that:

\frac{dP}{P} = r dt

\int \frac{dP}{P} = \int r dt

\ln{P} = rt + K

Applying the exponential to both sides:

P(t) = Ke^{rt}

In which K is the initial population.

At time t = 0 hours, the population is 300.

This means that K = 300. So

P(t) = 300e^{rt}

At time t = 24 hours, the population is 1000.

This means that P(24) = 1000. We use this to find the growth rate. So

P(t) = 300e^{rt}

1000 = 300e^{24r}

e^{24r} = \frac{1000}{300}

e^{24r} = \frac{10}{3}

\ln{e^{24r}} = \ln{\frac{10}{3}}

24r = \ln{\frac{10}{3}}

r = \frac{\ln{\frac{10}{3}}}{24}

r = 0.05

So

P(t) = 300e^{0.05t}

At what time t is the population 500?

This is t for which P(t) = 500. So

P(t) = 300e^{0.05t}

500 = 300e^{0.05t}

e^{0.05t} = \frac{500}{300}

e^{0.05t} = \frac{5}{3}

\ln{e^{0.05t}} = \ln{\frac{5}{3}}

0.05t = \ln{\frac{5}{3}}

t = \frac{\ln{\frac{5}{3}}}{0.05}

t = 10.22

The population is of 500 after 10.22 hours.

Ronch [10]
<h2>x = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 3(2x - 5) = 6 \\ x + 6x - 15 = 6 \\ 7x = 6 + 15 \\ 7x = 21

\frac{7x}{7}  =  \frac{21}{7}  \\ x = 3

Step 1 Use 3 to open the bracket

Step 2: Collect like terms and simplify

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7
