Answer:

E. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

General form of exponential equation:  y=ab^x

where a is the initial value, b is the growth/decay rate, and x is time.

Given:

  • a = 100 bacteria
  • b = 25% increase = 1.25
  • x = number of days

⇒ y=100 \cdot 1.25^x

If y = 500, then:

\implies 500=100 \cdot 1.25^x

\implies 5=1.25^x

\implies \ln5=\ln1.25^x

\implies \ln5=x\ln1.25^

\implies x=\dfrac{\ln5}{\ln1.25}

\implies x=7.212567439...

\implies x \approx7

Use compound interest formula

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P(1+r/100)^t=500

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 100(1+0.25)^t=500

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (1.25)^t=5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow log(1.25)^t=log5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow tlog1.25=log5

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t(0.097)=0.3

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow t=3.3\approx 3

The elevator at the state capital has a maximum weight capacity of 2000 pounds. If there are 3
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum capacity of the elevator = 2000 pounds

Combined weight of the elevator = 428 pounds

A). Let the possible weights that can be added to the elevator = w pounds

B). Therefore, inequality representing this situation will be,

    428 + w < 2000

C). By solving the given inequality,

    (428 + w) - 428 < 2000 - 428

    w < 1572 pounds

    Now we draw this inequality on a number line.
