Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137
Answer: k=1
Step-by-step explanation:
4k-3=-2k+3
take -3 and 3 and add them up on one side and change the sign
4k=-2k+3
+3
4k=-2k+6
take the -2k and change the sign and add to 4k
4k=6
2k
6k=6
now divide both sides with x
6k/6= 6/6
k= 1
46/69 * 100
0.66666*100
which is 66percent
Answer:
the answer to your question is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
These ratios are not equivalent
100 meters is the exact same as 1000000 millimeters.
1 meter = 1000 millimeters.
100 x 1000 = 1000000 millimeters.
