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

A manufacturer of televisions subjects the equipment to a comprehensive testing process for all essential functions before the t
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The probability is   P(X \le 9) =0.9138

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The probability of the television passing the test is  p = 0.95

    The sample size is  n  =  10

Generally the comprehensive testing process for all essential functions  follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators      

    Generally the probability that at least 9 pass the test is mathematically represented as

     P(X \le 9) =  P(X = 9) + P(X = 10 )

=>  P(X \le 9) = [^{10}C_9 *  (0.95)^9 *  (1- 0.95)^{10-9}]+ [^{10}C_{10} *  {0.95}^{10} *  (1- 0.95)^{10-10}]

=> P(X \le 9) = [10 *  0.6302  * 0.05 ]+ [1 *0.5987 * 1 ]

=> P(X \le 9) =0.9138

I need only 16 and 17 please help
Nesterboy [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  16. a: (-90°, (4, 3)); b: (90°, (0, 3)); c: (-90°, (0, 0))

  17. a: (down, (4, -1)); b: (right, (4, 3)); c: (up, (5, 2))

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know what notation you're used to seeing for rotations. Here. we'll use the form [degrees CCW, (center)]. (CW angles are negative.) In any rotation, the center is the point that is invariant (remains in the same place)

16.

a) The tail is invariant, so the rotation is (-90°, (4, 3)).

b) The tip is invariant, so the rotation is (90°, (0, 3)).

c) The origin is invariant, so the rotation is (-90°, (0, 0))

__

17.

a) The tail is invariant, so the arrow is pointing down with the tip at (4, -1).

b) The center is invariant, so the arrow is reversed. It is pointing right with the tip at (4, 3).

c) Point (2, 3) is invariant, so the arrow is pointing up with the center at (5, 0). The tip is at (5, 2).

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you have trouble visualizing these rotations, you might find it useful to trace the arrow on a piece of (semi-)transparent medium (plastic or tracing paper) so that you can move it as required to match the descriptions in the problem statement. A pin, or a dot on your tracing, can serve to fix the center of rotation. A little hands-on never hurts in math and geometry.

The value, V(m), of a comic book m months after publication has an average rate of change of –0.04 between m = 36 and m = 60. Wh
german

Answer:

C. The value of the comic book decreased by an average of $0.04 each month between m = 36 and m = 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change for the function f(x) from x_1=a and x_2=b is

\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

It is a measure of how much the function changed per unit, on average, over that interval.

Actually, this is the slope of the line passing through two points on the graph of the function.

If the average rate of change of the function f(x) between m = 36 and m = 60 is -0,04, it means that the value of the comic book decreased (because of negative number -0.04) by an average of $0.04 each month (a unit in this case is a month) between m = 36 and m = 60.
