This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
Given:
• Total number of cans collected = 150
,
• Percent of cans that were soda = 58%
Let's find the number of other cans he collected.
To find the number of other cans, since the percent of soda is 58%, let's find the pecent of other cans.
Percent of other cans = 100% - 58% = 42%
The percent of other cans collected was 42%.
Now, to find the number of other cans collected, let's find 42% of the total number of cans collected 150.
We have:
Therefore, the number of other cans collected is 63 cans.
ANSWER:
63 cans
The rise is the vertical distance between the two points, which is the difference between their y-coordinates. That makes the rise y2 − y1. The run between these two points is the difference in the x-coordinates, or x2 − x1.
