Answer:

  A: a = 100

  B: b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you that the population of bacteria is 100 at the start of our observation.

  t = 0, f(t) = f(0) = 100

If you remember that a 0 exponent means the value is 1, then you know ...

  f(0) = a·b^0 = a·1 = a

Since f(0) = 100, we know a = 100.

__

An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.

We know the population at t=0 is 100. At t = 1, we are told the population doubles. That means it is multiplied by 2.

 f(1) = 100·b^1 = 100·2

  b^1 = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . matching parts of these expressions

  b = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . because b^1 = b

Find the value of x in the isosceles trapezoid below?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of an isosceles trapezoid are the same length, so ...

5x -32 = 2x +61

3x = 93 . . . . . . . . add 32-2x

x = 31 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Divide 36 books into two groups so the ratio is 5 to 7. (Use the double number line strategy)
lutik1710 [3]

A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)


So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.


P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)

A researcher is curious about the average IQ of registered voters in the state of Florida. The entire group of registered voters
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Population

Step-by-step explanation:

A population can be defined as the total number of living organisms living together in a particular place and sharing certain characteristics in common.

A sample survey is a statistical method used for the collection of data from a target population in order to draw an inference and reach a logical conclusion.

In Statistics, sampling can be defined as a process used to collect or select data (objects, observations, or individuals) from a larger statistical population using specific procedures.

In this scenario, the entire group of registered voters in Florida is an example of a population.

Consider a tank used in certain hydrodynamic experiments. After one experiment the tank contains liters of a dye solution with a
Alja [10]

Answer:

t = 460.52 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

Consider a tank used in certain hydrodynamic experiments. After one experiment the tank contains 200 liters of a dye solution with a concentration of 1 g/liter. To prepare for the next experiment, the tank is to be rinsed with fresh water flowing in at a rate of 2 liters/min, the well-stirred solution flowing out at the same rate.Find the time that will elapse before the concentration of dye in the tank reaches 1% of its original value.

Solution

Let Q(t) represent the amount of dye at any time t. Q' represent the net rate of change of amount of dye in the tank. Q' = inflow - outflow.

inflow = 0 (since the incoming water contains no dye)

outflow = concentration × rate of water inflow

Concentration = Quantity/volume = Q/200

outflow = concentration × rate of water inflow = Q/200 g/liter × 2 liters/min = Q/100 g/min.

So, Q' = inflow - outflow = 0 - Q/100

Q' = -Q/100 This is our differential equation. We solve it as follows

Q'/Q = -1/100

∫Q'/Q = ∫-1/100

㏑Q  = -t/100 + c

Q(t) = e^{(-t/100 + c)} = e^{(-t/100)}e^{c}  = Ae^{(-t/100)}\\Q(t) = Ae^{(-t/100)}

when t = 0, Q = 200 L × 1 g/L = 200 g

Q(0) = 200 = Ae^{(-0/100)} = Ae^{(0)} = A\\A = 200.\\So, Q(t) = 200e^{(-t/100)}

We are to find t when Q = 1% of its original value. 1% of 200 g = 0.01 × 200 = 2

2 = 200e^{(-t/100)}\\\frac{2}{200} =  e^{(-t/100)}

㏑0.01 = -t/100

t = -100㏑0.01

t = 460.52 min
