Th coffee seller must have sold 130 coffee case but for him to make at least $3650, he must've sold 131 cups of coffee

Data;

monthly salary = $3500
commission = $12
amount due for commission = $100
cost of coffee = $25
total amount = $3650

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

These are verbal expressions used to represent mathematical problems and if we want to solve them, we must translate them into equations.

If his total pay is $3650 and he earns a commission of $12 for every $100 coffee sold.

How many coffee case are inside $100

$100/25=4$

This shows that for every 4 coffee case sold, she made ($100 + $12) as profit.

If 4 coffee = $112

how many coffee will give us $3650

$4coffee=$112\\x coffee = $3650\\x = \frac{4*3650}{112} \\x = 130.35$

From the calculations above, he must've sold at least 131 cups of coffee to make $3650.

A bacteria culture starts with 400 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 4 hours, there are 9000 bacteria

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

A) The expression for the number of bacteria is $P(t) = 400e^{0.7783t}$ .

B) After 5 hours there will be 19593 bacteria.

C) After 5.55 hours the population of bacteria will reach 30000.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Here we have a problem with differential equations. Recall that we can interpret the rate of change of a magnitude as its derivative. So, as the rate change proportionally to the size of the population, we have

$P' = kP$

where $P$ stands for the population of bacteria.

Writing $P'$ as $\frac{dP}{dt}$ , we get

$\frac{dP}{dt} = kP$ .

Notice that this is a separable equation, so

$\frac{dP}{P} = kdt$ .

Then, integrating in both sides of the equality:

$\int\frac{dP}{P} = \int kdt$ .

We have,

$\ln P = kt+C$ .

Now, taking exponential

$P(t) = Ce^{kt}$ .

The next step is to find the value for the constant $C$ . We do this using the initial condition $P(0)=400$ . Recall that this is the initial population of bacteria. So,

$400 = P(0) = Ce^{k0}=C$ .

Hence, the expression becomes

$P(t) = 400e^{kt}$ .

Now, we find the value for $k$ . We are going to use that $P(4)=9000$ . Notice that

$9000 = 400e^{k4}$ .

Then,

$\frac{90}{4} = e^{4k}$ .

Taking logarithm

$\ln\frac{90}{4} = 4k$ , so $\frac{1}{4}\ln\frac{90}{4} = k$ .

So, $k=0.7783788273$ , and approximating to the fourth decimal place we can take $k=0.7783$ . Hence,

$P(t) = 400e^{0.7783t}$ .

B) To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we only need to evaluate the expression we have obtained in the previous exercise:

$P(5) =400e^{0.7783*5} = 19593.723 \approx 19593$ .

C) In this case we want to do the reverse operation: we want to find the value of t such that

$30000 = 400e^{0.7783t}$ .

This expression is equivalent to

$75 = e^{0.7783t}$ .

Now, taking logarithm we have

$\ln 75 = 0.7783t$ .

Finally,

$t = \frac{\ln 75}{0.7783} \approx 5.55$ .

So, after 5.55 hours the population of bacteria will reach 30000.

8. H={all numbers of the form 3n+1, for n a natural number} under multiplication?

poizon [28]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

H= {all numbers of the form 3n+1, for n natural number} under multiplication:

Sol: all number of the form 3n+1, for n natural number so, put n=2, 3(2) +1 = 7, which is a natural number. A natural number under multiplication does not form a group because its inverse does not exist.

J= {all number of the form 3n+2, for n natural number} under multiplication:

Sol: all the number of the form 3n+2, n is the natural number does not form a group under multiplication because the identity element does not form in this set, and inverse does not exist.

K= {perfect squares of integers} under addition:

Sol: perfect square of integers under addition does not form a group because the inverse does not exist. For example, for any element x, inverse (-x) does not exist because of a square integer.

L= {perfect squares of integers} under multiplication:

Sol: a set of the perfect square of integers under multiplication is not a set, because it does not have the inverse property

M= {all numbers of the form 2, for n natural number} under addition:

Sol: natural number in the form of 2n, n is a natural number under addition is not a group as it does not have identity property. Identity property, under addition, is zero.

N= {all number of the form 2n, n is natural number} under multiplication:

All number of the form 2n, n is the natural number under multiplication is not a group. Because its inverse does not exist. For example, an element x belongs to a natural number; its inverse (1/x) does not exist in this set.
