The population of a certain kind of bacteria doubles in size every 5 minutes. The current number of bacteria in the population,

N, is equal to the product of the initial number of bacteria, I, and 2 to the power of n, where n is the number of times the population has doubled.
Initially, 599,737 bacteria are in a petri dish. How many bacteria are in the petri dish after 15 minutes?
A. 9,595,792
B. 4,797,896
C. 2,398,948
D. 3,598,422​

Answer:

B, 4,797,896

Step-by-step explanation:

599,737 multiplied by 2 is 1,199,474 then multiplied by 2 is 2,398,948 then multiplied by 2 is 4,797,896.

I multiplied by 2, 3 times because the population of a certain kind of bacteria doubles in size every 5 minutes and 15/5=3.

Describe and correct the error a student made in writing an exponential function
NemiM [27]

Answer:

we CANNOT DIVIDE 3 with 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,as given in the question:

Starting value = 6

Constant ratio = 1/3

Now, exponential function is obtained by the product of starting value and the constant ratio repeatedly.

⇒ f(x) = (Starting value) x (ratio)... x times

\implies f(x) = 6 (\frac{1}{3} )^x =  6 (\frac{1}{3} )  (\frac{1}{3} )  (\frac{1}{3} )  .... x  

Now, we CANNOT DIVIDE 3 with 6 as it is in the power of x.

Hence, \implies f(x) = 6 (\frac{1}{3} )^x and f(x)  \neq 2^x

Identify which lines are parallel y=(1/2)× 4
mars1129 [50]
Your question is a bit unclear, but if you mean which lines are parallel to this one then I have an answer.

1/2*4=2 so this line would be y=2 which means it is a horizontal line. Therefore, any other horizontal line would be parallel to it. So just pick a value for Y to equal and that will be your answer.
ie. y=7

marishachu [46]
<span>Given:
75% of the five-star football recruits in the nation go to universities in the three most competitive athletic conferences. </span>→ 25% goes to other schools.
<span>
five-star recruits get full football scholarships 93% of the time, regardless of which conference they go to. </span>→ 7% of the 5-star recruits don't get full football scholarships.<span>

a. The probability that a randomly selected five-star recruit who chooses one of the best three conferences will be offered a full football scholarship? 
75% * 93% = 69.75%

b. What are the odds a randomly selected five-star recruit will not select a university from one of the three best conferences?
25% of selected five-star recruit will not select a university from one of the three best conferences. I got the number based on the given data. Since, 75% will go, the remaining percent won't go. Total percentage should be 100% of the population. 

c. Explain whether these are independent or dependent events. Are they Inclusive or exclusive? 
These are independent events. One can still go to different school and still be legible for the full football scholarship. 

For question 2, pls. see attachment.</span>
