A biologist puts an initial population of 500 bacteria into a growth plate. The population is expected to double every 4 hours. Write the equation that will give the expected number of bacteria, n, after x days. (24 hours = 1 day)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]n = 500e^{-4.1589x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the exponential growth equation [tex]N(t) = N_0e^{-kt}[/tex] where;

N₀ is the initial population of the bacteria

N(t) is the population of the bacteria during time t

If a biologist puts an initial population of 500 bacteria into a growth plate, this means that N₀ = 500 at t = 0

[tex]N(t) = N_0e^{-kt}\\N(t) = 500e^{-k(0)}\\N(t) = 500e^0\\N(t) = 500[/tex]

If the population is expected to double every 4 hours, this means when t = 4, N₀  = 2(500) = 1000

[tex]N(t) = N_0e^{-kt}\\500 = 1000e^{-4k}\\\frac{500}{1000} = e^{-4k}\\0.5 = e^{-4k}\\ln(0.5) = lne^{-4k}\\ln(0.5) = -4k\\k = \frac{ln0.5}{-4} \\k = 0.1733[/tex]

The equation that will give the expected number of bacteria, n, after x days, can be gotten by substituting N(t) = n and t = x days = 24x hours

[tex]N(t) = N_0e^{-kt}\\n = N_0e^{-0.1733(24x)}\\n = 500e^{-4.1589x}[/tex]

Hence the equation that will give the expected number of bacteria, n, after x days is [tex]n = 500e^{-4.1589x}[/tex]

On the Venn diagram, which would be classified as an IRRATIONAL number?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B. 2π

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is one that can be represented using a fraction and an irrational number cannot be represented using a fraction.

-√4 = -2, which is a rational number

2π is not a rational number (we cannot express pi as a fraction exactly even though there are some close approximations)

2.2121... is also a rational number because it can be expressed as a fraction (21/99, or 7/33 simplified)

√225 is 15, which is a rational number

Therefore, the only irrational option is option B. 2π, which is your answer.

Three equal-sized cardboard boxes are stacked on top of each other. Each box is 56.4 cm in height.

What is the combined height of the 3 stacked boxes?

18.8 cm

59.4 cm

112.8 cm

169.2 cm

Answers

Answer:

169.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

56.4cm + 56.4=  112.8+ 56.4=   169.2cm

The combined height of the 3 stacked boxes will be 169.2 cm so option (D) will be correct.

What is the arithmetic operator?

Arithmetic operators are four basic mathematical operations in which summation, subtraction, division, and multiplication involve.,

Summation = addition of two or more numbers or variable

For example = 2 + 8 + 9

Subtraction = Minus of any two or more numbers with each other called subtraction.

For example = 4 - 8

Division = divide any two numbers or variable called division.

For example 4/8

Multiplication = to multiply any two or more numbers or variables called multiplication.

For example 5 × 7.

Given that,

Height of one box = 56.4 cm

So,

Height of two boxes = Height of one box + Height of one box

It means

Height of three boxes = Height of one box + Height of one box + Height of one box

So,

Height of three boxes = 56.4 +  56.4 +  56.4

Height of three boxes = 169.2 cm

Hence "The combined height of the 3 stacked boxes will be 169.2 cm".

Correct answer:

2). 2x + 10
3). 7 - x
4). 6x + 3
5). 10x

Explanation:

1). 5x + 4x - x

Mistake: 9x - x is 8x not 9x

2). 2(x + 5)
= 2x + 10

3). 5 - (x - 2)

Mistake: when a minus sign is in front of a parenthesis the sign in between the two terms in the parentheses needs to change. 5 - (x - 2) = 5 - x + 2 not 5 - x - 2.

4). 2x + 3 + 4x

Mistake: Combine like terms. Add the number with variable to the number with variable. And the number without variable to the number without variable.

5). x + 3x + 6x

Mistake: When add the number with the same variable. Only the coefficient increase not the exponent itself. But when multiply, both the coefficient and exponent increase.







A square sandbox has an area of 75 square feet. Estimate the length of one of the sides of the
sandbox. Round to the nearest tenths place.

Answers

Answer:

8.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a square has equal side lengths, the formula for area is s^2, where s stands for side. Since we are given the area, s^2=75 square feet. Take the square root of both sides to get s is equivalent to the square root of 75 square feet. When this becomes a decimal, it is 8.66 feet. Since we are supposed to round to the nearest tenths, it rounds up to 8.7 feet per side length

You use the equation $y=0.18x$ to calculate the tip $y$ (in dollars) that you add to a bill for $x$ dollars. a. Solve the equation for $x$ . The rewritten equation is $x=$ . b. Find the amount of the bill (not including tip) when your tip is $4.95. The bill is $\$$ .

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y = 0.18x, to solve for x, we will make the variable x as the subject of the formula from the equation given.

From the equation y = 0.18x

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x i.e 0.18

y/0.18 = 0.18x/0.18

y/0.18 = x

Hence the function of the variable x = y/0.18

b) Given the amount of the bill as y and x is the tip in dollars.

Given  y = $4.95, we are to substitute the value of y = $4.95 into the resulting function in (a) to get x as shown;

Since x = y/0.18

x = $4.95/0.18

x = $27.5

Hence the bill is  $27.5

You are at a family reunion and the cooler contains ten bottles of soda; four Sprite, three Dr. Pepper, and three Cherry Coke. Three times, you randomly pick up a drink for your grandmother. The first time, you get a Cherry Coke. The second and third times, you get Dr. Pepper. What is the probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time and then an Cherry Coke the fifth time without replacement?

Answers

Answer:

Probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = [tex]\frac{1}7[/tex]

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Combined probability = [tex]\frac{1}{21}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}[/tex]

It is given that first time a Cherry coke is chosen and it is not replaced.

So, number of cherry coke left = 2

Dr. Pepper is chosen twice and is not replaced, so

Number of Dr. Pepper left = 3 - 2 = 1

Total number of soda left = 10 - 3 = 7

So, probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time = [tex]\frac{1}7[/tex]

Now, total number of soda left = 7 - 1 = 6

Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time = [tex]\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The combined probability = probability of getting Dr. Pepper the fourth time multiplied with Probability of getting a cherry coke the fifth time

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}7 \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{21}[/tex]

-How many miles it is from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.

•What kind of answer do you expect?

-If using variable, I expect that I will get the number of miles from one city to the other.

5.)

425 = 320 + X

Answers

Answer:

The actual distance between the two houses is:

3.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportions:

1cm       ⇔  100000 cm

3.2 cm  ⇔  W cm

W = 3.2*100000/1

W = 320000 cm

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answers

9Answer: Y-1=-2(X+1) OR Y+9 = -2(X-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is Y-Y1=m(X-X1)

Slope (M) is (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)

SO M= (-9-1)/(4--1)

-10/5

M= -2

Answer:

y - 1 = -2 (x + 1)

Explanation:

point slope form: (y - y1) = m (x - x1)

m is the slope. To find m the formula is:

             (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

The given ordered pairs are: (-1,1) and (4,-9)

y2 is the y in the second ordered pair (-9)

y1 is y in the first ordered pair (1)

x2 is x in the second ordered pair (4)

x1 is x in the first ordered pair (-1)

                = (-9 - 1) / (4 +1)

                 = -10/5

             m = -2

Now plug m (-2), y1 (1), and x1 (-1) into the point slope form

y - 1 = -2 (x - -1)

y - 1 = -2 (x + 1)

Answer:

Given:

Rectangle of;

length = (t - 8) units

width = (t + 11) units

The area A of a rectangle is given by;

A  = length x width ----------------------------------(i)

Substitute the given length and width into equation (i) as follows;

A = (t - 8) x (t + 11)    [expand the brackets]

A = t² -8t + 11t - 88

A = t² + 3t - 88

Therefore, the area is

(t² + 3t - 88) square units
