To begin a bacteria study, a petri dish had 2800 bacteria cells. Each hour since, the number of cells has increased by 7.2%. Let

t be the number of hours since the start of the study. Let y be the number of bacteria cells. Write an exponential function showing the relationship between y and t.​

The function that models exponential growth is:

P(t) = P0*(1 + r)^t, where

P0 = P(0) is the initial value of P

r is the growth rate as a decimal

In our case we have:

P(0) = 2800

r = 0.035 or 3.5%

P(t) = 2800*(1 + 0.035)^t

P(t) = 2800*(1.035)^t

The same exponential function written using y and t is:

y = 2800*1.035^t.

165 * 0.38 = 62.7


This is assuming you mean an object weights 38% less on mars then earth, if its the other way around(they weight 38% more on mars then earth) it would be,


165 * 1.38 = 227.7

Hello there!

Answer:

4. dy/dx = -2

8. dy/dx = 1/2 x^(-3/2)

10/ dy/dr = 4 pi r^2

Step-by-step explanation:

4.  y = -2x+7

dy/dx = -2(1)

dy/dx = -2

8.  y = 4 - x^-1/2

 dy/dx =  - (-1/2x^ (-1/2-1)

 dy/dx = 1/2 x^(-3/2)

10.  y = 4/3 pi r^3

dy/dr = 4/3 pi  (3r^2)

dy/dr = 4 pi r^2
