Answer:

After 43 minutes, the bacteria will be 40 remainings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Initial population of bacteria A_o = 800

After time (t) = 18 mins

A = 240

Using the model:

A = A_o e^{k*t}

240=800 e^{k*18}

\dfrac{240}{800}= e^{18k}

0.3= e^{18k}

By applying natural log on both sides, we get:

In(0,3) = 18k (In e)

- 1.20397 = 18 k * (1)

18 k = -1.20397

k =  -1.20397/ 18

k = - 0.06688

k ≅ -0.07

After time (t), the bacteria population (A) = 40

Now;

40 = 800 e^{k*t}

\dfrac{40 }{800}= e^{-0.07*t}

0.05= e^{-0.07*t}

In (0.05) = -0.07t * In (e)

- 2.9957 = - 0.07t

t = - 2.9957/ -0.07

t = 42.795

t ≅ 43 minutes

Thus, after 43 minutes, the bacteria will be 40 remainings.

Please answer quick and fast its due today.I only have two questions ​
madreJ [45]
#13 is 3000 because since each T-shirt is $650 and they buy 4 you multiply and get $2600 and since she received 400 dollar change then you add that value to the total cost and get 3000 that means she paid 3000

#14 is a millennium
1 year is 365 days
1 decade is 10 years
1 century is 100 years
1 millennium is 1000 years
So it has to be 1 millennium since 1000 years is the most out of the others

A section of concrete pipe 30m long has an inside diameter of 1.2m and an outside diameter of 1.8m. what is the volume of concre
Fudgin [204]

length of pipe= 30m

Inside dia. = 1.2m

Outside dia. = 1.8m


Volume of concrete= (outside dia. - inside dia.)h

V= (pi)
v= [(3.14*0.9*0.9)-(3.14*0.6*0.6)]30

v= (3.3534-1.1304)30
v=(2.233)30 = 66.690m cube

since it's volume the answer 66.690 is in cubic meters.
