Answer:

81 times the original size

Step-by-step explanation:

AA0ktA=3A0=?=?=25hours=A0ekt

Substitute the values in the formula.

3A0=A0ek⋅25

Solve for k. Divide each side by A0.

3A0A0=e25k

Take the natural log of each side.

ln3=lne25k

Use the power property.

ln3=25klne

Simplify.

ln3=25k

Divide each side by 25.

ln325=k

Approximate the answer.

k≈0.044

We use this rate of growth to predict the number of bacteria there will be in 100 hours.

AA0ktA=3A0=?=ln325=100hours=A0ekt

Substitute in the values.

A=A0eln325⋅100

Evaluate.

A=81A0

At this rate of growth, we can expect the population to be 81 times as large as the original population.

John rides his bike to work each day. The distance between his house and his work is approximately 6.5 miles, and it takes him o

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

D) 8.667 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance= 6.5 miles

Times= 45 minutes

First, convert the time into hours as we need to find speed in the unit of mph.

We know, 1 hour= 60 minutes

∴ Time= $\frac{45}{60} = 0.75\ h$

Now, find the speed of John´s bike

Speed= $\frac{distance}{time}$

⇒ Speed= $\frac{6.5}{0.75} = 8.667\ mph$

∴ Speed of John´s bike is 8.667 mph

For a particular angle theta, the cosine function f(x) = a cos b(theta) has the following values within one cycle of the functio

Anton [14]

For function $f(x)=a\cos b\theta$ we have that $f(0) =4,\ f( \frac{\pi}{2} )=-4,\ f(\pi)=4$ . This means that period of cosine function is π. Then from the formula for period $T= \frac{2\pi}{b}$ you obtain that $\pi= \frac{2\pi}{b}$ and b=2.

So, the function is $f(x)=a\cos 2\theta$ . If f(0)=4, then $a\cos0=4$ and, respectively, a=4.
Answer: $f(x)=4\cos 2\theta$ .
