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.

__________________

We have a dilemma here, there is a variable and constant numbers in this equation. No fear, this is when like terms comes into play, where you can only combine two numbers that have the same ending, whether it be variables, exponents, e.t.c.

Distribute :

4 + 16 - 12(1 + 2x)

4 + 16 - (12(1) + 12(2x))

4 + 16 - 12 + 24x

Use PEMDAS (Add left to right) :

4 + 16 - 12 + 24x

20 - 12 + 24x

8 + 24x

24x + 8
