The number of bacteria in a culture is increasing according to the law of exponential growth. The initial population is 240 bacteria, and the population after 9 hours is double the population after 1 hour. How many bacteria will there be after 4 hours? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

339

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: [tex]y=ab^x[/tex]

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal formx is the independent variabley is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Given information:

a = 240 (initial population of bacteria)x = time (in hours)y = population of bacteria

Therefore:  [tex]y=240b^x[/tex]

To find an expression for the population after 1 hour, substitute x = 1 into the found equation:

[tex]\implies y=240b^1[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=240b[/tex]

We are told that the population after 9 hours is double the population after 1 hour.  Therefore, make y equal to twice the found expression for the population after 1 hour, let x = 9, then solve for b:

[tex]\implies 2(240b)=240b^9[/tex]

[tex]\implies 480b=240b^9[/tex]

[tex]\implies 480=240b^8[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2=b^8[/tex]

[tex]\implies b=\sqrt[8]{2}[/tex]

[tex]\implies b=2^{\frac{1}{8}}[/tex]

Therefore, the final exponential equation modelling the given scenario is:

[tex]\implies y=240(2^{\frac{1}{8}})^x[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=240(2)^{\frac{1}{8}x}[/tex]

To find how many bacteria there will be after 4 hours, substitute x = 4 into the found equation:

[tex]\implies y=240(2)^{\frac{1}{8}(4)}[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=240(2)^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=339 \:\: \sf (nearest\:whole\:number)[/tex]

Therefore, there will be 339 bacteria (rounded to the nearest whole number) after 4 hours.

Determine whether each set of ordered pairs shown below is from a geometric sequence or from an arithmetic sequence.

{(-3, 7.5) , (-2, 10) , (-1, 12.5)}

Write the equation of the graph for the set of ordered pairs.

{(1, 150) , (2, 112.5) , (3, 84.375)}

Write the equation of the graph for the set of ordered pairs.

Answers

Using sequences concepts, it is found that:

The set of ordered pairs {(-3, 7.5) , (-2, 10) , (-1, 12.5)} is an arithmetic sequence with equation a(n) = 15 + 2.5d.The set of ordered pairs {(1, 150) , (2, 112.5) , (3, 84.375)} is a geometric sequence with [tex]a_n = 150(0.75)^{n-1}[/tex].

What is an arithmetic sequence?

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference d.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]a(n) = a(0) + nd[/tex]

The sequence {(-3, 7.5) , (-2, 10) , (-1, 12.5)} continues with points (0, 15), (1, 17.5), and so on, hence the first term and the common ratio are given, respectively, by:

a(0) = 15, d = 2.5.

Hence the equation is:

a(n) = 15 + 2.5n.

What is a geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which the result of the division of consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio q.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

For the sequence {(1, 150) , (2, 112.5) , (3, 84.375)}, the first term and the common ratio are given, respectively, by:

[tex]a_1 = 150, q = \frac{112.5}{150} = \frac{84.375}{112.5} = 0.75[/tex]

Hence the equation is given by:

[tex]a_n = 150(0.75)^{n-1}[/tex]

Consider the systems of equations below. determine the number of real solutions for each system of equations. system a has real solutions. system b has real solutions. system c has real solutions.

Answers

System A has 2 real solutions, System B has 0 real solutions and System C has 1 real solution.

Given a system of equations for A is x²+y²=17 and y=-(1÷2)x, a system of equations for B is y=x²-7x10 and y=-6x+5 and a system of equations for C is y=-2x²+9 and 8x-y=-17.

For system A,

The two systems of equations are

x²+y²=17            ......(1)

y=-1÷2x             ......(2)

Substitute the value of equation (2) into equation (1) as

x²+(-x÷2)²=17

x²+(x²÷4)=17

Simplify the above equation by taking L.C.M. as

(4x²+x²)÷4=17

5x²=68

x²=68÷5

x=±3.688

Find the value of y by substituting the value of x in equation (2).

When x=3.688 then y is

y=-(1÷2)×3.688

y=-1.844

And When x=-3.688 then y is

y=-(1÷2)×(-3.688)

y=1.844

Thus, the points where the equations of system A intersect each other is (3.688,-1.844) and (-3.688,1.844)

So, the system of equations of A has 2 real solutions.

For system B,

The two systems of equations are

y=x²-7x+10            ......(3)

y=-6x+5                ......(4)

Substitute the value of equation (4) into equation (3) as

-6x+5=x²-7x+10

x²-7x+10+6x-5=0

x²-x+5=0

Simplify the above quadratic equation using the discriminant rule,

x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))÷(2a)

Here, a=1, b=-1 and c=5

Substitute the values in the discriminant rule as

x=(1±√(1-4\times 5\times 1))÷2

x=(1±√(-19))÷2

x=(1±√(19)i)÷2

Here, the value of x goes into the complex.

So, the system of equations of B has 0 real solutions.

For system C,

The two systems of equations are

y=-2x²+9            ......(5)

8x-y=-17            ......(6)

Substitute the value of equation (6) into equation (5) as

8x-(-2x²+9)=-17

8x+2x²-9+17=0

2x²+8x+8=0

Simplify the above quadratic equation using factorization method as

2x²+4x+4x+8=0

2x(x+2)+4(x+2)=0

(2x+4)(x+2)=0

x=-2,-2

Find the value of y by substituting the value of x in equation (5).

When x=-2 then y is

y=-2(-2)²+9

y=-8+9

y=1

Thus, the point where the equations of system C intersect each other is (-2,1)

So, the system of equations of C has 1 real solutions.

Hence, the system of equations for A is x²+y²=17 and y=-(1÷2)x having 2 real solution, a system of equations for B is y=x²-7x10 and y=-6x+5 having 0 real solution and a system of equations for C is y=-2x²+9 and 8x-y=-17 having 1 real solution.

Which value of x makes this equation true?
-12x2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4)
O A.
OB.
O C.
O D.

Answers

Answer:

B. -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12x -2(x+9) = 5(x+4)

*ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR BODMAS*

-12x -2x - 18 = 5x + 20

*group the like terms*

-14x - 5x = 20 + 18

-19x = 38

x = -2

The value of x that makes the equation true is: x = -2.

B. -2.

Here, we have to find the value of x that makes the equation true, we need to solve for x.

Let's solve the equation step by step:

-12x - 2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4)

Distribute the -2 and 5 on the right side of the equation:

-12x - 2x - 18 = 5x + 20

Combine like terms on both sides:

-14x - 18 = 5x + 20

Move the variable terms (5x) to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side.

Let's subtract 5x from both sides:

-14x - 5x - 18 = 5x - 5x + 20

-19x - 18 = 20

Move the constant term (-18) to the other side of the equation.

Let's add 18 to both sides:

-19x - 18 + 18 = 20 + 18

-19x = 38

Finally, divide both sides by -19 to isolate x:

x = 38 / -19

x = -2

So, the value of x that makes the equation true is: x = -2.

B. -2.

Binary operators is a operator that connects two functions. There are five binary operators between two functions: (i) Addition, (ii) Subtraction, (iii) Multiplication, (iv) Division, (v) Composition.

In this question we must apply the addition between two quadratic functions. In addition, we know by algebra that the sum of a quadratic function and a cubic function is equal to a cubic function. Hence, the resulting expression is:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

(f + g)(x) = (4 · x² + 7 · x - 3) + (6 · x³ - 7 · x² - 5)

(f + g)(x) = 6 · x³ - 3 · x² + 7 · x - 8
