What is the equation of the following line written in slope-intercept form?

A colony of bacteria is growing at a rate of 0.2 times its mass. Here time is measured in hours and mass in grams. The mass of t

Answer:

Question 1: $dm/dt=0.2m$

Question 2: $m=Ae^{(0.2t)}$

Question 3: $m=10e^{(0.2t)}$

Question 4: $m=10g$

Explanation:

Question 1: Write down the differential equation the mass of the bacteria, m, satisfies: m′= .2m

a) By definition: $m'=dm/dt$

b) Given: $rate=0.2m$

c) By substitution: $dm/dt=0.2m$

Question 2: Find the general solution of this equation. Use A as a constant of integration.

a) Separate variables

$dm/m=0.2dt$

b) Integrate

$\int dm/m=\int 0.2dt$

$ln(m)=0.2t+C$

c) Antilogarithm

$m=e^{0.2t+C}$

$m=e^{0.2t}\cdot e^C$

$e^C=A\\\\m=Ae^{(0.2t)}$

Question 3. Which particular solution matches the additional information?

Use the measured rate of 4 grams per hour after 3 hours

$t=3hours,dm/dt=4g/h$

First, find the mass at t = 3 hours

$dm/dt=0.2m\\\\4=0.2m\\\\m=4/0.2\\\\m=20g$

Now substitute in the general solution of the differential equation, to find A:

$m=Ae^{(0.2t)}\\\\20=Ae^{(0.2\times 3)}\\\\A=20/e^{(0.6)}\\\\A=10.976$

Round A to 1 significant figure:

A = 10.

Particular solution:

$m=10e^{(0.2t)}$

Question 4. What was the mass of the bacteria at time =0?

Substitute t = 0 in the equation of the particular solution:

$m=10e^{0}\\\\m=10g$

john spent half of his weekly allowance at the batting cages. to earn more money his parents let him vacuum the house for $6. wh

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

First to solve this get the original amount before his parents gave him $6

20-6=14

So he had $14 after spending it at the batting cages.

It is stated he spent half of his money there so multiply 14 by 2

14 x 2=28

So he has a weekly allowance of $28

Help on number 12 please?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

f(n)= 5 · 4

$f(n) = 5 \times 4 ^{n - 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the explicit formula for geometric sequence. The five is the firat term and is placed correctly. The 4 is the rate of change, because if you multiply 5 by 4 you get 20 and so on.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers they rode in the 3 bike trips they took last month. In order, they rode 45.7, 4

Archy [21]

Answer:

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam's calculation:

45.7 + 40.9 + 38.0 = 124.6 miles. 124.6 × 0.621 = 77.38 kilometers.

Bruno's calculation:

45.7 + 40.9 + 38.0 = 124.6 miles. 124.6 divided by 0.621 = 200.64 kilometers.

1 kilometer = 0.621 miles.

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide

We will divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller units
