A cylinder has a height of 6 meters and a diameter that is 6 times the measure of the height. Using 3.14 for pi, which of the fo
muminat

Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is 6,104.16 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a cylinder has a height of 6 meters and a diameter that is 6 times the measure of the height, to determine, using 3.14 for pi, which of the following can be used to calculate the volume of the cylinder, the following calculation must be done, knowing that the volume of a cylinder is determined by multiplying Pi by the height by the radius squared, and that the diameter of a circle is twice its radius:

3.14 x 6 x (6x3) ^ 2 = X

18.84 x 18 ^ 2 = X

18.84 x 324 = X

6,104.16 = X

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 6,104.16 square meters.

A bacteria culture starts with 660 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 6 hours there will be 3960 bacte
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) P(t) = 660 e^{\frac{ln(6)}{6} t}

b) P(t=3) = 660 e^{\frac{ln(6)}{6}*3} = 1616.663 \approx 1617

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info:

P(0) = 660 represent the initial amount of bacteria

P(6) = 3960 represent the population of bacteria after 6 hours

Part a

For this case we use the proportional model given by:

\frac{dP}{dt}= kP

Where P represent the population at time t and k is a constant of proportionality.

We can rewrite the model like this:

\frac{dP}{P} = k dt

And if we integrate both sides we got:

ln |P|= kt + C

Now if we apply exponential we got:

P = e^{kt +c}= e^{kt} e^C

P(t)= P_o e^{kt}

For this case using the initial condition:

660 = P_o e^{0k}, P_o = 660

We have the following model:

P(t) = 660 e^{kt}

Using the second condition P(6) = 3960 we have this:

3960 = 660e^{6k}

We can divide both sides by 660 and we got:

6= e^{6k}

Now we can apply natural log on both sides and we got:

ln (6)= 6k

k = \frac{ln(6)}{6}=0.2986265782

So then the model would be given by:

P(t) = 660 e^{\frac{ln(6)}{6} t}

Part b

For this case we just need to replace t=3 into the model and we got:

P(t=3) = 660 e^{\frac{ln(6)}{6}*3} = 1616.663 \approx 1617

Determine if the function f is an exponential function. If so, identify the base. If not, why not? F(x)= x^ -3
Flura [38]

Answer:

  Not an exponential function. The exponent is a constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function has the variable in the exponent. This function raises the variable to a fixed power, so it is not an exponential function.
