The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.

Given that he starts his experiment with 200 bacteria, hence

a = 200

The bacteria grow at a rate of 2% per hour, hence:

b = 100% + 2% = 1.02

The exponential equation becomes:

y = 200(1.02)ˣ

After 7 hours:

y = 200(1.02)⁷ = 230

The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.

A cell phone company has a basic plan of $40 plus $0.45 for any minutes over 700. Before receiving his statement, John saw he wa
Darya [45]

Answer:

718\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes

y ----> the total charge in dollars

we know that

For x>700 min

y=0.45x+40

so

For y=48.10

substitute

48.10=0.45x+40

Multiply by 100 both sides

4,810=45x+4,000 ----> equation without decimals

solve for x

45x=4,810-4,000\\45x=810\\x=18\ min

To find out the total minutes we need to sum

18\ min+700\ min=718\ min
