A bacteria population experiences continuous growth. If there were 2,000 bacteria present at the start of an experiment, how lon

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

D. About 15.69 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours.

We have been given that there were 2,000 bacteria present at the start of an experiment and the growth rate was 7% per hour.

Since number of bacteria is growing exponentially, so we will use exponential growth function to solve our given problem.

The continuous exponential growth formula is in form: $y=e^{kx}$ , where,

e= mathematical constant,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

Let us convert our given rate in decimal form.

$7\%=\frac{7}{100}=0.07$

Upon substituting our given values we will get exponential function for bacteria growth as: $y=2,000*e^{0.07x}$ , where, y represents number of bacteria after x hours.

Since we need to figure out the number of hours it will take for there to be 6,000 bacteria, so we will substitute y= 6,000 in our function.

$6,000=2,000*e^{0.07x}$

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 2,000.

$\frac{6,000}{2,000}=\frac{2,000*e^{0.07x}}{2,000}$

$3=e^{0.07x}$

Let us take natural log of both sides of our equation.

$\text{ln}(3)=ln(e^{0.07x})$

$\text{ln}(3)=0.07x$

$1.0986122=0.07x$

$x=\frac{1.0986122}{0.07}$

$x=15.69446\approx 15.69$

Therefore, it will take about 15.69 hours to be 6,000 bacteria and option D is the correct choice.

Given <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%20%3Dx%5E2%20-6x%2B8%20and%20g%28x%29%20%3Dx-2" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x) =x

For this case we have the following functions:

$f (x) = x ^ 2-6x + 8\\g (x) = x-2$

We must subtract the functions:

$f (x) -g (x) = x ^ 2-6x + 8- (x-2)\\f (x) -g (x) = x ^ 2-6x + 8-x + 2\\f (x) -g (x) = x ^ 2-7x + 10$

We build a table of values for $x = 0,1,2,3.$

$x = 0, f (x) -g (x) = 0 ^ 2-7 (0) + 10 = 10\\x = 1, f (x) -g (x) = 1 ^ 2-7 (1) + 10 = 1-7 + 10 = 4\\x = 2, f (x) -g (x) = 2 ^ 2-7 (2) + 10 = 4-14 + 10 = 0\\x = 3, f (x) -g (x) = 3 ^ 2-7 (3) + 10 = 9-21 + 10 = -2$

Answer:

$f (x) -g (x) = x ^ 2-7x + 10$
