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

A shopkeeper buys two types of tea one at $20 for 10 kg and the other at $23 for 10 kg. He mixes the two types and the mixture i
lorasvet [3.4K]
Let us take the case of first type of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea one = $20
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea one = (20/10) dollars
                                     = 2 dollars
Now let us take the case of the second kind of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea = $23
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea = (23/10) dollars
                               = 2.3 dollars
So
The mixture of 1 kg of tea one
and 1 kg of second type of tea will cost = (2.0 + 2.3) dollars
                                                                = 4.3 dollars
Then the cost of 2kg mixture of tea costs = 4.3 dollars
So
The cost of 10 kg mixture will cost = (4.3/2) * 10 dollars
                                                         = 4.3 * 5 dollars
                                                        = 21.5 dollars
Then
The amount of profit made by selling 10 kg tea at $38 = (38 - 21.5) dollars
                                                                                       = 16.5 dollars
So
Percentage of profit made = (16.5/21.5) * 100
                                           = 1650/21.5
                                           = 76.74 percent
So the percentage of profit made is 76.74%.
