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

Find f(1/4)<br><br> if f(x)=4x^2-2/3x<br><br>please guys explain it to me I cant understand it ​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

f(1/4) = 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x is a function. The name of the function is simply the letter f. It tells you a rule. f(x) is the same as y.

It is the same as having

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

For each value of x you are given, you can calculate a corresponding value of y. Instead of calling y, y, we call y "f(x)" which is a way of showing that this relation is a function.

If you were given

y = 4x^2 - 2/3 x and were asked to find the value of y when x = 1/4, what would you do?

You would substitute 1/4 for x in the expression 4x^2 - 2/3 x, and you'd find the value of y.

Being asked to find f(1/4) for function f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x means exactly the same. It means what is the value of the function when x = 1/4? What is the y value corresponding to an x value of 1/4?

Let's calculate it:

f(x) = 4x^2 - 2/3 x

To show we are evaluating the function at an x value of 1/4, we use the notation f(1/4). f(1/4) means find the value of y for function f when x = 1/4. We replace x with 1/4 and do the math.

f(1/4) = 4(1/4)^2 - (2/3)(1/4)

f(1/4) = 4(1/16) - 2/12

f(1/4) = 4/16 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/4 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 3/12 - 2/12

f(1/4) = 1/12
