Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have a exponential function of the form

where
y is the population of bacteria
a is the initial value
r is the rate of growth
x is the number of hours
we have
a=3,000 bacteria

For x=2, y=3,300
substitute


Apply square root both sides




substitute in the equation


<u><em>Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 hours</em></u>
For x=16 hours
substitute


The answer is 6/5 as an improper fraction, or 1 1/5 as a mixed number.
Answer:
The center is (2, -7)
Step-by-step explanation:
A circle is given by
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
where(h,k) is the center and r is the radius
(x - 2)^2 +(y + 7)^2 =169
(x - 2)^2 +(y - -7)^2 =13^2
The center is (2, -7) and the radius is 13
1/2 x 5/8 = .3125
If you plug it into the calculator.
