The population of a particular type of bacteria is known to triple in 22 days. What is the daily growth rate

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: ∛(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that at day 0 the population was A.

at day 3, the population will be: 3*A

at day 6, the population will be 3*(3*A) = A*3^2

then, at day N = 3*n (where n = 0, 1, 2.....) the population will be:

P(N) = A*3^n

Particularly, if we take n = 1/3 we will have:

N = 3*1/3 = 1

This means that this is the first day after the day 0.

P(1) = A*3^(1/3)

(then in day one, the population grow by a factor of 3^(1/3))

N = 2 is when n = 2/3, then:

P(2) = A*3^(2/3)

The quotient between P(2) and P(1) is equal to the growth between day one and day two, this should be the same as the growth between day zero and day one.

A*3^(2/3)/(A*3^(1/3)) = 3^( 2/3 - 1/3) = 3^(1/3)

So we found that the daily growth rate is 3^(1/3) or ∛(3)

If x + y = 2 and x - y = 6, solve for x and y.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

x + y = 2

x - y = 6

Solution

Just add the two equations together. The y's will drop out.

x + y = 2

<u>x - y = 6 </u>             Add

2x = 8                 Divide by 2

2x/2 = 8/2          Combine

x = 4                   Substitute x = 4 into the top equation

x + y = 2

4 + y = 2             Subtract 4 from both sides

4-4+y=2-4          Combine

y = - 2    

Answer

x = 4

y = -2
