A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich

, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.
Required:
a. Find the relative growth rate.
b. Find an expression for the number of cells after t hours.
c. Find the rate of growth after 6 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
d. Find the number of cells after 6 hours.

Answer:

a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)

b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t

c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)

d. The number of cells after 6 hours is

= 89 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell divides into two cells every 20 minutes

In one hour, the cell will divide into 60/20 * 2 = 6 cells

Each cell growth 6 cells per hour

Initial population of a culture = 50 cells

t = time in hours

a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)

b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t

c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)

d. The number of cells after 6 hours = initial population * growth factor

= 50 * 1.772

= 88.6

= 89 cells

Nineteen more than a number is less than 42
Lelechka [254]
We are trying to find the number that when added to 19, gives us less than 42. We can set up this simple inequality:

19 + x < 42

Now, subtract 19 from both sides:

x < 23

Our number can be anything less than 23.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

C. x=42

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + 3x + y = 180

126 + 16 + y = 180

y = 38

16 + 3x + 38 = 180

54 + 3x = 180

3x = 126

x=42

A line passes through (10,-1) and has a slope of -1/2 whats the equation of the line
8090 [49]

Answer:

Y=-1/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

-The slope is -1/2 so you just plug it in where the slope would go with an x in front

-all you need now is your y-intercept which can be found by plugging in the provided info to your basic form y=mx+b

-You can take the provided point at (10,-1) and work out what the intercepts is

-1=-1/2(10)-b

-1=-5-b

4=b
