A researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the growth of a certain bacteria. He starts his experiment with 500 bacteria that grow at a rate of 16% per hour. He will check on the bacteria every 8 hours. How many bacteria will he find in 8 hours? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer 1

The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.

Given that he starts his experiment with 500 bacteria, hence

a = 500

The bacteria grow at a rate of 16% per hour, hence:

b = 100% + 16% = 1.16

The exponential equation becomes:

y = 500(1.16)ˣ

After 8 hours:

y = 500(1.16)⁸ = 1639

The population of the bacteria after 8 hours is 1639 bacteria.

x = 9

x = 8

x=−6

Answers

Answer:

9 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x − 4)2 = 4x + 14

=> 10x - 40 = 4x + 14

=> 6x = 54

=> x = 9

Therefore, 9 is the answer.

Hoped this helped.

The value of the x after solving the equation 5 (x - 4) 2 = 4x + 14 is x = 9.

What are Linear Equations?

Linear equations are equation involving one or more expressions including variables and constants and the variables are having no exponents or the exponent of the variable is 1.

Given linear equation,

5 (x - 4) 2 = 4x + 14

5 × 2 (x - 4) = 4x + 14

10 (x - 4) = 4x + 14

By distributive property, p (q + r) = p q + p r

10x - (10 × 4) = 4x + 14

10x - 40 = 4x + 14

10x - 4x = 14 + 40

6x = 54

x = 54 / 6

x = 9

Hence the value of x is 9.

Gemma and Leah are both jewelry makers, Gemma made 106 beaded necklaces. Leah
made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.
Each necklace they make has exactly 104 beads on it. How many beads did both
Jewelers use altogether while making their necklaces? How many necklaces did Gemma and Leah each make

Answers

Answer:

Gemma made $34 more than Leah.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gemma made number of beaded necklaces = 106

Leah made 39 more necklaces than Gemma.

Leah made number of beaded necklaces  = 106 + 39 = 145

a. There are 104 beads on each necklace.

The total number of beads used altogether

= (106 × 104) + (145 × 104)

= 11,024 + 15,080

= 26,104

b. Gemma sold her 106 necklaces for = $14

Total price of her necklaces = 106 × 14

                                              = $1,484

Leah sold her 145 necklaces for = $10

Total price of her necklaces = 145 × 10

                                              = $1,450

Difference in Gemma and Leah's amount = 1484 - 1450 = $34.00

Therefore, Gemma made $34.00 more money than Leah.

PLZ HELP WITH ME WITH MY MATH HOMEWORK!!!!! SHOW WORK!!!!!

Answers

Explanation:

(I). 5/6 (4X+8) = (3/8) X - (1/4)

→ [{5(4X) + 5(8)}/6] = (3/8)X - (1/4)

→ [{20X + 40}/6] = (3/8)X - (1/4)

→ [{(20X/6) + (40/6) = (3/7)X - (1/4)

Now,

shift all variables fraction on LHS and constant fraction on RHS.

→ [(20X/6) - (3X/7)]= -(1/4) - (40/6)

Take the LCM of LHS denominator of 6&7 is 42.

→ [(140X - 18X)/42] = -(1/4)-(40/6)

→ [(122X)/42] = -(1/4)-(40/6)

Again take the LCM of the denominator in RHS i.e 4&6 is 12.

→ [(122X)/42] = (-12 - 80)/4

→ [(122X)/42] = (-92)/4

By doing Cross multiply the fraction, we get

→ 4(122X) = 42(-92)

→ 488X = -3 864

→ X = -3 864÷488

Therefore, X = -3864/488

Answer: Hence, the value of X for the given problem is -3864:488.

Explanation:

ii)Given algebraic equation is: 5(3p-5)+4p=5p-6(p+4)

→ 15p - 25 + 4p = 5p - 6p + 24

Shift all variables in LHS and constant on RHS.

→ 15p + 4p +6p = 25+24

→ 19p + 6p = 49

→ 25p = 49

Shift the number 25 from LHS to RHS.

Therefore, p = 49/25.

Answer: Hence, the value of P for the given algebraic equation is 49/25.

8) A school community had planned to reduce the number of grade 9 students per class room by constructing additional class rooms. However, they constructed 4 less rooms than they planned. As the result, the number of students per class 10 more than they planned. If there are 1200 grade nine students in the school, determine the current number of class rooms and the number of students per class.​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "c" be the original number of classrooms.

The 1200/c was the original number of students per classroom.

----

Equation:

1200/(c-4) = (1200/c)+10

Multiply thru by c(c-4)

---

1200c = 1200(c-4)+10c(c-4)

---

1200c = 1200c-4800 + 10c^2-40c

10c^2-40c-4800 = 0

c^2-4c-480 = 0

You use a garden hose to fill a wading pool. If the water level rises 16 centimeters every 7 minutes
and you record the data point of (21,y), what is the value of y? Use slope to justify your answer.



The rate of change at which the water level rises is ____ centimeters per minute. So solving the equation ____ for y gives a y-value equal to ____

Answers

Rise=16, run=7. Slope is rise/run, and therefore is 16/7. The run is considered to be the x coordinate. Since the x coordinate on the point is 21, we know it has moved 3 exact points away from the origin (21/7=3). We can use this movement of 3 exact points to determine the y coordinate as well. Since the rise (y) is 16 for every exact point on a graph, we know the graph has risen 48 units (16x3=48). So, the point ends up being (21,48). The rate of change is 16cm per 7 minutes, or 2.28cm/minute. The equation is Y=(16/7)X (no y intercept because the graph starts at the origin). The equation gives you the y value of 48 when x is equal to 21.

Kripa’s father is 35 years younger than her grandfather, and 40 years older than her. If the sum of the ages of the three is 160 years, let’s find her grandfather’s age?

Answers

Answer:

90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

if Kripa's age = x

Father's age = x + 40

Grandfather's age = (x + 40) + 35 = x + 75 (father is 35 years younger than grandfather i.e. grandfather is 35 years older than father)

x + x + 40 + x + 75 = 160

=> 3x = 160 - 115

=> x = 45/3 = 15

grandfather's age = x + 75 = 90 years

Answer:

90 years

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 40 + x + 75 = 160

=> 3x = 160 - 115

=> x = 45/3 = 15

Grandfather's age = x + 75 = 90 years
