A bacteria culture doubles every 5 hours. Determine the hourly growth rate of the bacteria

Mathematics

Using an exponential function, it is found that the hourly growth rate of the bacteria culture is of 14.9%.

------------------------

An exponential function has the following format:

A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial amount.
  • r is the hourly growth rate.

------------------------

Since it doubles every 5 hours, it means that:

A(5) = 2A(0)

And we use this to find r.

------------------------

A(t) = A(0)(1+r)^t

2A(0) = A(0)(1+r)^5

(1 + r)^5 = 2

\sqrt[5]{(1 + r)^5} = \sqrt[5]{2}

1 + r = 2^{\frac{1}{5}}

1 + r = 1.149

r = 1.149 - 1 = 0.149

0.149*100% = 14.9%.

The hourly growth rate of the bacteria culture is of 14.9%.

What is the value of sin-1(1)? negative startfraction pi over 2 endfraction 0 startfraction pi over 2 endfraction π
mariarad [96]

The value of sin-1(1) is negative startfraction pi over 2 endfraction, startfraction -pi over 2 endfraction.

<h3>What is the value of sin (π/2)?</h3>

The value of sin (π/2) is equal to the number 1. The value of the sin-1(1) has to be find out.

Suppose the value of this function is <em>x</em>. Thus,

x=\sin^{-1}(1)

Solve it further,

\sin(x)=(1)              ......1

The value of sin (π/2) and -sin (-π/2) is equal to 1 such that,

\sin\dfrac{\pi}{2}=-\sin\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)=1

Put this value in the equation 1,

\sin(x)=\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)=-\sin\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)

Thus, the range will be,

\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2},-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)

Thus, the value of sin-1(1) is negative startfraction pi over 2 endfraction, startfraction -pi over 2 endfraction.

How to improve in math?
Arte-miy333 [17]
The best way is to do problems over and over again and making mistakes with them.There is no point in doing them if you get correct answers.
When you make mistakes you ask someone what’s wrong and try not to make that mistake again.
That’s how I became a master at maths and physics.

As for help with calculus the important thing is to understand how graphing works.
Once you got that do more questions.
So basically to summarise make mistakes don’t repeat and find out how it works

Hope this helps:)

The measure of an angle is 78°. What is the measure of a complementary angle?
ki77a [65]
First you need to know the definition of a complementary angle. That means that two angles add up to 90 degrees, or a right angle.

To find an angle complementary to a 78 degree angle, you need to subtract 78 from 90. 

90 - 78 = 12
