Answer:

(a) y = 350,000 \times (1 + 0.07132)^t

(b) (i) The population after 8 hours is 607,325

(ii) The population after 24 hours is 1,828,643

(c) The rate of increase of the population as a percentage per hour is 7.132%

(d) The doubling time of the population is approximately, 10.06 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The initial population of the bacteria, y₁ = a = 350,000

The time the colony grows, t = 12 hours

The final population of bacteria in the colony, y₂ = 800,000

The exponential growth model, can be written as follows;

y = a \cdot (1 + r)^t

Plugging in the values, we get;

800,000 = 350,000 \times (1 + r)^{12}

Therefore;

(1 + r)¹² = 800,000/350,000 = 16/7

12·㏑(1 + r) = ㏑(16/7)

㏑(1 + r) = (㏑(16/7))/12

r = e^((㏑(16/7))/12) - 1 ≈ 0.07132

The  model is therefore;

y = 350,000 \times (1 + 0.07132)^t

(b) (i) The population after 8 hours is given as follows;

y = 350,000 × (1 + 0.07132)⁸ ≈ 607,325.82

By rounding down, we have;

The population after 8 hours, y = 607,325

(ii) The population after 24 hours is given as follows;

y = 350,000 × (1 + 0.07132)²⁴ ≈ 1,828,643.92571

By rounding down, we have;

The population after 24 hours, y = 1,828,643

(c) The rate of increase of the population as a percentage per hour =  r × 100

∴   The rate of increase of the population as a percentage = 0.07132 × 100 = 7.132%

(d) The doubling time of the population is the time it takes the population to double, which is given as follows;

Initial population = y

Final population = 2·y

The doubling time of the population is therefore;

2 \cdot y = y \times (1 + 0.07132)^t

Therefore, we have;

2·y/y =2 = (1 + 0.07132)^t

t = ln2/(ln(1 + 0.07132)) ≈ 10.06

The doubling time of the population is approximately, 10.06 hours.

Can someone help me with this<br> S=?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

In order to find the value of s, we must isolate the s variable in this equation, so the first step should be subtracting 3 5/6 from both sides of this equation. In order to subtract, we multiply each denominator to get 42, and multiply the numerator by the same amount, and subtract the number from both sides:

s + 3 35/42 = 9 6/42

s = 5 13/42

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (07.04 LC) Factor completely 49x2 − 9. (7x + 3)(7x − 3) (7x + 3)(x − 3) (7x − 3)(7x −
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We take a look at this expression: 49x^2-9 and notice that both terms are square numbers. 49x^2=(7x)^2 and 9=3^2.

There is a specific formula that I highly recommend you memorize involving differences of squares. It states that given the difference of squares a^2-b^2, it can always be factored into (a+b)(a-b).

Here, we can apply that. In this case, a = 7x and b = 3. So:

49x^2-9=(7x)^2-3^2=(7x+3)(7x-3)

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!
