A freshly inoculated bacterial culture of Streptococcus contains 100 cells. When the culture is checked 60 minutes later, it is

determined that there are 450 cells present. Assuming exponential growth, determine the number of cells present at any time t (measured in minutes) and the find the doubling time.​

Answer:

P(t) = 100e^{0.0251t}

The doubling time is of 27.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation of growth:

The exponential equation for population growth is given by:

P(t) = P(0)e^{kt}

In which P(0) is the initial value and k is the growth rate.

A freshly inoculated bacterial culture of Streptococcus contains 100 cells.

This means that P(0) = 100. So

P(t) = 100e^{kt}

When the culture is checked 60 minutes later, it is determined that there are 450 cells present.

This means that P(60) = 450, and we use this to find k. So

450 = 100e^{60k}

e^{60k} = 4.5

\ln{e^{60k}} = \ln{4.5}

60k = \ln{4.5}

k = \frac{\ln{4.5}}{60}

k = 0.0251

So

P(t) = 100e^{0.0251t}

Doubling time:

This is t for which P(t) = 2P(0) = 200. So

200 = 100e^{0.0251t}

e^{0.0251t} = 2

\ln{e^{0.0251t}} = \ln{2}

0.0251t = \ln{2}

t = \frac{\ln{2}}{0.0251}

t = 27.65

The doubling time is of 27.65 minutes.

Someone please help me

Answer:

364.8 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I  assume you want the area of the figure.

Total area = area of the top triangle + area of the trapezium

= 1/2 * base * height + 1/2 * height * ( sum of the parallel sides)

= 1/2 * 18 * 6 + (14/2)( 18 + 26.4)

=  54 + 310.8

= 364.8 ft^2.

How can we tell if a number is divisible by 4
Elza [17]

Answer: You take the last two digits of the original number and see if they are divisible by 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Take your original number and find the last two digits. If they are divisible by 4, then the original number is divisible by 4.

What is the order of operations to solve this problem?<br> 10 x 5 + 2 / 2 = 60
Slav-nsk [51]

Simply remember PEMDAS:

P = Parentheses

E = Exponents

M = Multiplication

D = Division

A = Addition

S = Subtraction

You perform these actions from left to right.

However in this case it is not possible for it to equal 60.
