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.

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation? 4x^2+34x+60=0
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Option 3) -6,-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

4x^{2} +34x+60=0  

so

a=4\\b=34\\c=60

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-34(+/-)\sqrt{34^{2}-4(4)(60)}} {2(4)}

x=\frac{-34(+/-)\sqrt{196}} {8}

x=\frac{-34(+/-)14} {8}

x_1=\frac{-34(+)14} {8}=-\frac{20}{8}=-\frac{5}{2}

x_2=\frac{-34(-)14} {8}=-6

What is the amplitude of the sinusoids function m(x)= -3.5 cos x
leva [86]

Answer:

The amplitude  of the given sinusoidal function is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sinusoidal function is

m(x)=-3.5\cos x

This function is of the form:

m(x)=a\cos bx

where

a=|-3.5|=3.5 is the amplitude.

Therefore the amplitude of the given sinusoidal function is 3.5
