A scientist has a sample of bacteria that initially contains 10 million microbes. They observe the sample and finds that the num

ber of bacterial microbes doubles every 20 minutes. Which exponential function represents M, the total number of bacterial microbes in millions, as a function of t, the number of minutes the sample has been observed?

Answer:

M(t) = 6.7 * 10⁷ (67 million)

Minutes (t) =55

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write an exponential equation that represents M, the total number of bacterial microbes in millions, as a function of t, the number of minutes the sample has been observed.

For answering this question, we will use the following formula:

M(t) = B₀ * g ^(t/m), where:

•M(t) represents the total number of bacterial microbes in millions.

• B₀ represents the initial population of bacteria in millions.

• g represents the growth factor.

• t represents the total number of minutes we will observe the bacteria growing.

• m represents the time in minutes it takes to the growth factor g to occur.

2. Then, determine how much time, to the nearest minute, will pass until there are 67 million bacterial microbes.

M(t) = B₀ * g ^(t/m)

Replacing with the values we know:

6.7 * 10⁷ = 10⁷ * 2 ^(t/20)

6.7 = 2 ^(t/20) (Dividing by 10⁷ at both sides)

ln 6.7 = ln 2 ^(t/20)

ln 6.7 = t/20 ln 2

ln 6.7/ ln 2 = t/20

t = ln 6.7/ln 2 * 20

t = 2.74 * 20

t = 54.88

t ≅ 55 (rounding to the nearest minute)

1 + tanx / 1 + cotx =2
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or x = tan^(-1)(-(i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_2 for n_2 element Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

1 + cot(x) + tan(x) = 2

Multiply both sides of 1 + cot(x) + tan(x) = 2 by tan(x):

1 + tan(x) + tan^2(x) = 2 tan(x)

Subtract 2 tan(x) from both sides:

1 - tan(x) + tan^2(x) = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

tan^2(x) - tan(x) = -1

Add 1/4 to both sides:

1/4 - tan(x) + tan^2(x) = -3/4

Write the left hand side as a square:

(tan(x) - 1/2)^2 = -3/4

Take the square root of both sides:

tan(x) - 1/2 = (i sqrt(3))/2 or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Add 1/2 to both sides:

tan(x) = 1/2 + (i sqrt(3))/2 or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or tan(x) - 1/2 = -(i sqrt(3))/2

Add 1/2 to both sides:

x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or tan(x) = 1/2 - (i sqrt(3))/2

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

Answer:  x = tan^(-1)((i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_1 for n_1 element Z

or x = tan^(-1)(-(i sqrt(3))/2 + 1/2) + π n_2 for n_2 element Z
