Complete question is;

A skull cleaning factory cleans animal skulls and other types of animals using flesh eating Beatles. The factory owner started with only 13 adult beetles.

After 35 days, the beetle population grew to 26 adult beetles. How long did it take before the beetle population was 13,000 beetles?

Answer:

349 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Initial amount of adult beetles; A_o = 13

Amount of adult beetles after 35 days; A_35 = 26

Thus can be solved using the exponential formua;

A_t = A_o × e^(kt)

Where A_t is the amount after time t, t is the time and k is a constant.

Plugging in the relevant values;

26 = 13 × e^(35k)

e^(35k) = 26/13

e^(35k) = 2

35k = In 2

35k = 0.6931

k = 0.6931/35

k = 0.0198

Now,when the beetle population is 12000,we can find the time from;

13000 = 13 × e^(k × 0.0198)

e^(k × 0.0198) = 13000/13

e^(k × 0.0198) = 1000

0.0198k = In 1000

0.0198k = 6.9078

k = 6.9078/0.0198

k ≈ 349 days.

Help please, I attached the question. Is it a!? <br> 
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a quadratic equation of the form:

0=ax^2+bx+c

The number of solutions it has can be determined using its discriminant:  

\Delta = b^2-4ac

Where:

  • If the discriminant is positive, we have two real solutions.
  • If the discriminant is negative, we have no real solutions.
  • And if the discriminant is zero, we have exactly one solution.

We have the equation:

2x^2+5x-k=0

Thus, <em>a</em> = 2, <em>b</em> = 5, and <em>c</em> = -<em>k</em>.

In order for the equation to have exactly one distinct solution, the discriminant must equal zero. Hence:

b^2-4ac=0

Substitute:

(5)^2-4(2)(-k)=0

Solve for <em>k</em>. Simplify:

25+8k=0

Solve:

\displaystyle k = -\frac{25}{8}

Thus, our answer is indeed A.
