A scientist running an experiment starts with 100 bacteria cells. These bacteria double their population every 15 hours. Find ho

w long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300. Use the formula , where is the original number of bacteria cells, is the number after t hours, and d is the time taken to double the number. It takes hours for the number of bacteria to increase to 300.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 23.77 hours

<h2>Why?</h2>

Total(t)=Start*2^\frac{t}{15}

Where:

Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)

<em>Start</em> is the original amount

<em>t </em>is the time in hours.

For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:

Total(15)=100*2^\frac{15}{15}=100*2^{1}=100*2=200

To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:

300=100*2^{\frac{t}{15} } } \\\frac{300}{100}=2^{\frac{t}{15} } }\\log(3)=log(2^{\frac{t}{15} })\\\\\\log(3)=\frac{t}{15}*log2\\t=\frac{log(3)}{log(2)} *15=23.77

So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:

Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94

and 299.94≅300

Have a nice day!

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A program at a community college can be completed in no fewer than 8 months, but must be completed in less than 11 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The closed dot means the number is equal to and the open dot means the number is less/ greater than

2. The line goes right from the 8 with a closed dot, making x greater than or equal to 8

3. The line goes left from the 11 with an open dot, making x less than ll

4. This means the number must be equal to or greater than 8, and less than 11

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  researcher is using a repeated-measures design to test for mean differences among four treatment conditions.

The data for this study consist of 10 scores in each treatment.

We have to find the total subjects who participated in the study.

Each treatment has 10 scores

No of treatments = 4

Hence subjects participated in the study

= no of treatment x no of subjects

= 10*4=40

6. It took Juan 48 minutes to drive 12 miles, Calculate his speed in miles per hour,
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

15 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets find the number of miles he goes in 1 minutes.

That would be found by dividing the number of miles (12) by the number of minutes (48), so we have:

12/48 = 0.25 miles per minute

We want the speed in miles PER HOUR.

So, how many minutes are in an hour??

That is 60 mins = 1 hr

So, we need to multiply this by 60.So,

0.25 miles per minute * 60 minutes (1 hr) = 15 miles per hour

On a coordinate plane, a solid straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 1) and (3, 0). Everything above
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

y\geq\frac{1}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

A solid straight line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 1) and (3, 0)

<em>Find the slope of the solid line</em>

m=(0+1)/(3-0)\\\\m=\frac{1}{3}

The equation of the solid line in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=\frac{1}{3}

b=-1 ---> given problem

substitute

y=\frac{1}{3}x-1

Everything above and to the left of the line is shaded

so the inequality is equal to

y\geq\frac{1}{3}x-1
