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.

Ayanna is 3 years older than Brittany. The sum of 3 times Brittany's age and 2 times Ayanna's age is 76. How old are Ayanna and
Alex_Xolod [135]
Ayanna is 17 and Brittany is 14.

To find this, let's write two equations using the given information.

a = b + 3
3b + 2a = 76

Now, just substitute the first equation into the second and solve.

3b + 2(b + 3) = 76
3b + 2b + 6 = 76
5b = 70
b = 14

If Brittany is 14, then Ayanna is 3 years older at 17.

A town has a population of 5000 and grows at 4% every year. To the nearest year, how long will it be until the population will r
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

About 21.457 years

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this by setting up a simple equation.

5000\cdot 1.04^x \geq 11600

1.04^x \geq 2.32

log base 1.04 2.32=x

x\approx 21.457 years

Hope this helps!

What is the answer to the equation 4x + - 9 = 74
zzz [600]

Answer:

x = 20.75

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Solve for x</u>

4x + (-9) = 74

4x - 9 + 9 = 74 + 9

4x / 4 = 83 / 4

x = 20.75

Answer:  x = 20.75
