Answer:

6,430\ bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(1+r)^{x}

where

y is the population of bacteria

a is the initial value

r is the rate of growth

x is the number of hours

we have

a=3,000 bacteria

y=3,000(1+r)^{x}

For x=2, y=3,300

substitute

3,300=3,000(1+r)^{2}

(3,300/3,000)=(1+r)^{2}

Apply square root both sides

1+r=\sqrt{3.3/3}

r=\sqrt{3.3/3}-1

r=0.0488

r=4.88\%

substitute in the equation

y=3,000(1+0.0488)^{x}

y=3,000(1.0488)^{x}

<u><em>Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 hours</em></u>

For x=16 hours

substitute

y=3,000(1.0488)^{16}

y=6,430\ bacteria

(1 point) Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference betw
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a. \frac{dT}{dt}=k(T-Tm); T(0)=190

b. C_{0}=122

c. k=-0.00259

d. t=153.39838\\ minutos

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Newton's law of cooling states that the speed with which a body is cooled is proportional to the difference between its temperature and that of the medium in which it is found. Then, the initial value problem is given by:

Tm=68

\frac{dT}{dt}=k(T-Tm); T(0)=190

b. The differential equation obtained is a differential equation of separable variables:

\frac{dT}{T-Tm}=kdt\\\\\int {\frac{dT}{T-Tm}}=\int{kdt}\\\\Ln|T-Tm|=kt+C\\\\T(t)=C_{0}e^{kt}+Tm=C_{0}e^{kt}+68\\\\T(0)=C_{0}e^{k(0)}+68=190\\\\C_{0}=122

c. After 33 minutes of serving the coffee has cooled to 180°:

T(33)=122e^{33k}+68=180\\\\e^{33k}=\frac{112}{122}\\\\33k=Ln(\frac{112}{122})\\\\k=-0.00259

d.

150=122e^{-0.00259t}+68\\\\Ln(\frac{150-68}{122})=-0.00259t\\\\t=153.39838\\\\
