The population of a bacteria sample doubles every 6 hours. How long would it take for the population to triple?

seraphim [82]

The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.

I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.

the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.

When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours

Answer:By definition, perpendicular line are two lines that intersect at right angles. In other words, the angle made by two lines should be 90°. Therefore, the use of distance formula does not help because it only tells you if the sides are equal. It does not tell you about the intercepted angle.

A technique that can help you to know if two straight lines are perpendicular is is you find their slopes. Let's say the slope of line 1 is m1 and the slope of line 2 is m2. If m1*m2 yields a product of -1, then the lines are perpendicular. This is because if m1 is the negative reciprocal of m2, the lines are perpendicular. But if m1=m2, the lines are parallel, meaning they don't intersect at all.

Therefore, the answer is: Find the slopes and show that their product is -1.

How much would $150 invested at 8% interest compounded continuously be worth after 17 years

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Approximately $584.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Your formula is A=Pe^rt

A is what you're looking for, the amount

P is the principal aka what you put into the account: $150

e is the mathematical constant. You'd plug that into your calculator.

r is the rate, you'd put it into the equation as a decimal: 8%=.08

t is the time in years: 17

A=150e^.08x17 <em>you can plug this into your calculator</em>

A=$584.43

(From Textbook) A company makes dog food out of chicken and grain. Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce,

Doss [256]

Answer:

The company use 0 ounces of chicken and 100 ounces of grain in each bag of dog food in order to minimize cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of ounces of chicken

let y be the number of ounces of grains

We are given that Chicken has 10 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat per ounce.

Chicken has protein in 1 ounce = 10

Chicken has protein in x ounces = 10x

Chicken has fat in 1 ounce = 5

Chicken has fat in x ounces = 5x

We are also given that grain has 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fat per ounce

Grain has protein in 1 ounce = 2

Grain has protein in y ounces = 2y

Grain has fat in 1 ounce = 2

Grain has fat in y ounces =2y

Now we are given that . A bag of dog food must contain at least 200 grams of protein and at least 150 grams of fat.

So, equation becomes:

$10x+2y\geq 200$ ---A

$5x+2y\geq 150$ ---B

Since x and y represent the ounces .

So, $x\geq 0$ ---C and $y\geq 0$ ----D

Plot A ,B ,C and D on the graph

Refer the attached graph so , the corner points are (0,100),(10,50) and (30,0)

We are also given that chicken costs 10 cents per ounce and grain costs 1 cent per ounce

So, Cost function becomes : $c=10x+y$

At(0,100)

$c=10x+y$

$c=10(0)+100$

$c=100$

At(10,50)

$c=10x+y$

$c=10(10)+50$

$c=150$

At(30,0)

$c=10x+y$

$c=10(30)+0$

$c=300$

Minimum cost is 100 cents at (0,100)

So, the company use 0 ounces of chicken and 100 ounces of grain in each bag of dog food in order to minimize cost.
