To begin a bacteria study, a petri dish had 1800 bacteria cells. Each hour since, the number of cells has increased by 15%.
Let t be the number of hours since the start of the study. Let y be the number of bacteria cells.
Write an exponential function showing the relationship between y and t.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The exponential function is [tex]C(t)=y(b)^t\ Or\ C(t)=1800(1.15)^1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]t[/tex] be the number of hours.

[tex]y[/tex] number of bacteria cells.

And we know that an exponential function is [tex]C(t)=y(b)^t[/tex],where [tex]b[/tex] is a positive real number, and in which the argument [tex]t[/tex] occurs as an exponent

The petri dish has [tex]1800[/tex] bacteria cells we can say that [tex]y=1800[/tex]

In the equation as [tex]C[/tex] is function of  time and [tex](t)[/tex] will vary as [tex]1,2,3[/tex] for respective hours.

To find the value of [tex]b[/tex] we have to understand that it is dependent on percent increase if there is increment of [tex]15\%[/tex] then [tex]b=1+15\%=1+\frac{15}{100}=1+0.15=1.15[/tex]

So the exponential function will be [tex]C(t)=y(b)^t[/tex] ,plugging the values it will be equivalent to [tex]C(t)=1800(1+0.15)^1[/tex]

Check:

[tex]15\% of 1800 =0.15\times 1800=270[/tex]

So in first hour the cells will increased by a quantity of [tex]270[/tex] cells.

The number of cells after an hour in the petri dish [tex]=(1800+270)=2070[/tex]

That can also be from the formula.

[tex]C(t)=1800(1.15)^1=2070[/tex]

So the exponential function is [tex]C(t)=y(b)^t\ Or\ C(t)=1800(1.15)^1[/tex]

[tex]y[/tex] will increase exponentially as the value of [tex]t[/tex] increase.

Answer 2

Final answer:

The exponential function to represent the growth of bacteria cells, y, after t hours with an initial amount of 1800 cells and a 15% hourly growth rate is y = 1800(1 + 0.15)^t.

Explanation:

To write an exponential function showing the relationship between the number of bacteria cells, y, and the time in hours, t, we begin by using the initial value of 1800 bacteria cells and apply a 15% increase each hour. The exponential growth formula is given by y = P(1 + r)^t, where P is the initial amount, r is the growth rate (expressed as a decimal), and t is the time.

Since the growth rate is 15%, we convert this to a decimal by dividing by 100, resulting in 0.15. The formula to model this bacterial growth would be y = 1800(1 + 0.15)^t. Therefore, for any given number of hours t, you can calculate the number of bacteria cells y.

Graph a line with a slope of 2/5 that contains the point (-2,4)

Answers

A graph of the line with slope 2/5 and passing through the point (-2, 4) is shown on the coordinate plane in the image below.

How to determine an equation of this line?

In Mathematics and Geometry, the point-slope form of a straight line can be calculated by using the following mathematical equation (formula):

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

Where:

x and y represent the data points.m represent the slope.

At data point (-2, 4) and a slope of 2/5, an equation for this line can be calculated by using the point-slope form as follows:

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

y -  4 = 2/5(x - (-2))  

y -  4 = 2/5(x + 2)

y = 2/5(x) + 4/5 + 4

y = 2/5(x) + 24/5

to visit the of the empire state building, a ticket cost $4.00 in 1999.in 2009 ,the price rose to 20.00. what was the percent change?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i think its 500%

but im not sure

because 20 divided by 4 = 5

and 5.0 = 500%

Answer:

 The percent change is 400%

Explanation:

We know that percentage change is given by the

[tex]\frac{change in value}{absolute value of the original value} \times 100[/tex]

i.e we find the difference between the original value and current value and then divide it by original value and multiply the obtained value with 100.

a negative percentage change indicates increase in value.

so we get 4 - 20 = -16

[tex]\frac{-16}{4}[/tex] = -4

[tex]-4 \times[/tex] 100 = -400

hence there is an increase of 400% in the percentage which is the required percentage.

24 : 8 ≡ 39 : 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two proportion relation and we have to determine whether they are equivalent or not.

Now, the first proportion is 24 : 8

So, the simplified proportion will be 24 : 8 = 8 × 3 : 8 = 3 : 1

Again the second proportion is 39 : 13

So, the simplified proportion is 39 : 13 = 13 × 3 : 13 = 3 : 1

Therefore, the two given proportions are equivalent i.e. 24 : 8 ≡ 39 : 13. (Answer)

Marie will earn $15 per hour at a new job. During training, she will earn $10 per hour. What percent of Marie's regular rate will she earn during training?

Answers

Answer:

66.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Marie's earnings at a new job : $15 per hour

Her earnings during training : $10 per hour

percentage of Marie's regular rate earned by her during training

                 = [tex]\frac{Her\ earnings\ during\ training}{Her earning\ at\ a\ new\ job}[/tex]×100

                 = [tex]\frac{10}{15}[/tex]×100

                 = [tex]\frac{200}{3}[/tex]

                 = 66.67%

percentage of Marie's regular rate earned by her during training = 66.67%

Final answer:

To find what percentage of Marie's regular rate she will earn during training, divide her training rate by her regular rate and multiply by 100%.

Explanation:

Marie will earn $10 per hour during training. Her regular rate is $15 per hour. To calculate what percentage of her regular rate she will earn during training, we use the formula: percentage = (training rate / regular rate) * 100%. Plugging in the values, we get (10 / 15) * 100% = 66.67%. Therefore, Marie will earn 66.67% of her regular rate during training.

Find the exact volume of a cone 6yd height 5yd base

Answers

Answer:

The exact volume of a cone is 10 yd³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of cone (h) is 6 yd and base (b) is 5 yd.

Now, to get the volume we need to find the radius.

So, to find radius we put the formula of base:

Let the radius be [tex]r[/tex]

Base=[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]b=\pi\times r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]5=\pi\times r^{2}[/tex]

Dividing both sides by π and using square root on both the sides:

[tex]5\div \pi=(\pi \times r^{2}) \div \pi[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{\pi}=r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{\pi}=r^{2}[/tex]

[tex]r^{2}=\frac{5}{\pi}-----1[/tex]

Now, putting the formula for getting the volume (v) of cone:

Volume = [tex]\pi r^2\frac{h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]v=\pi\times r^{2}\times \frac{6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]v=\pi\times r^{2}\times 2[/tex]

Substituting the value of [tex]r^2[/tex] from equation (1), we get:

[tex]v=\pi\times \frac{5}{\pi}\times 2[/tex]

[tex]v=10[/tex] yd³

Volume of cone is 10 yd³

Therefore, the exact volume of a cone is 10 yd³.

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 500 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Tuesday. There were 50 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.
How many hamburgers were sold on Tuesday?

Answers

Answer: 275

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of hamburger be x and the total number of cheeseburgers be y. That is

x + y = 500 ................... equation 1

Since there were 50 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers, this means that the number of hamburgers sold is more than cheeseburgers by 50 , that is

x - y = 50 ............. equation 2

solving the resulting linear equation by substitution method;

From equation 2 , make x the subject of the formula , that is

x = 50 + y ................ equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 1 , we have

50 + y + y = 500

50 + 2y = 500

2y = 500 - 50

2y = 450

y = 450/2

y = 225

substitute y = 225 into equation 3 to find the value of x. we have

x = 50 + y

x = 50 + 225

x = 275

Therefore 275 hamburgers were sold
