Answer:

Rephrase that so that x=the number.

3+2x=x

(-2x) => 3=-x

(*-1) => -3=x

Therefore the number is -3!

Answer: $\bold{a)\ P(t)=P_o\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}}$

b) 5314

c) ln 2.7

d) 4.6 hrs

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$P(t) = P_o\cdot e^{kt}\\\\\bullet \text{P(t) is the number of bacteria after t hours} \\\bullet P_o\text{ is the initial number of bacteria}\\\bullet \text{k is the rate of growth}\\\bullet \text{t is the time (in hours)}\\\\\\270=100\cdot e^{k(1)}\\2.7=e^k\\ln\ 2.7=\ln e^k\\\boxed{ln\ 2.7=k}\\\\\text{So the equation to find the number of bacteria is: }\boxed{P(t)=P_o\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}}\\\\\\P(4)=100\cdot e^{4\cdot ln(2.7)}\\.\qquad =\boxed{5314}$

$10,000=100\cdot e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\100=e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\ln\ 100=ln\ e^{t\cdot ln(2.7)}\\ln\ 100=t\cdot ln(2.7)\\\dfrac{ln\ 100}{ln\ 2.7}=t\\\\\boxed{4.6=t}$
