Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rate at which the bacteria grow be represented by the exponential equation

P(t) = P0e^kt

P(t) is the population of the bacteria after time t

P0 is the initial population

k is the constant of variation

t is the time

If the initial Population is 160 bacteria's, them the equation becomes;

P(t) = 160e^kt

b) if After 5 hours there will be 800 bacteria, this means

at t = 5 p(t) = 800

Substitute and get k

800 = 160e^5k

800/160 = e^5k

5 = e^5k

Apply ln to both sides

Ln5 = lne^5k

ln5 = 5k

k = ln5/5

k = 0.3219

Next is to calculate the population after 7hrs i.e at t = 7

P(7) = 160e^0.3219(7)

P(7) = 160e^2.2532

P(7) = 160(9.5181)

P(7) = 1522.9

Hence the population after 7houra will be approximately 1523populations

c) To calculate the time it will take the population to reach 2790

When p(t) = 2790, t = ?

2790 = 160e^0.3219t

2790/160 = e^0.3219t

17.4375 = e^0.3219t

ln17.4375 = lne^0.3219t

2.8587 = 0.3219t

t = 2.8587/0.3219

t = 8.88 hrs

Hence it will take approximately 9hrs for the population to reach 2790

The given expression is: 
(x/2) + 5

Let's look at each terms separately:
x/2 means that you you're getting half the value of a number
+5 means that you are adding 5
Combining both, you can conclude that you are adding 5 to half a certain given number.

Comparing this with the choices, the correct choice would be:
C. five more than half a number.

Since this is a triangle all the angles within the triangle add up to 180 degrees so....
82+(9x+2)+(7x)=180
82+2+16x=180
16x+84=180
16x=96
X=6
If we plug in X to angle(9x+2) and angle (7x) we will get 56 and 42. We can get angle 2 by subtracting 180-42 which is 138
FINAL ANSWER: 138 degrees

A line intersects the points (-14,-10) and (7,5). find the slope of the line and simplify
Tpy6a [65]
The slope of any line can be calculated using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

The given points are (-14,-10) and (7,5), therefore:
y2 = 5
y1 = -10
x2 = 7
x1 = -14

Substitute with these values to get the value of the slope as follows:
slope = (5--10) / (7--14) = 5/7
