Javier is working in a lab testing bacteria populations. After starting out with a population of 378 bacteria, he observes the change in population and notices that the population doubles every 36 minutes. Find the equation for the population P in terms of time t in minutes. Round values to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

This can be represented by the exponential function:

[tex]P=378(2)^\frac{t}{36}[/tex]

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

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

Let P represent the population of the bacteria after t minutes.

Since the bacteria starts with a population of 378, hence a = 378. The bacteria doubles every 36 minutes, This can be represented by:

[tex]P=378(2)^\frac{t}{36}[/tex]

Suppose `h\left(t\right)=-5t^{2}+10t+3`is an expression giving the height of a diver above the water (in meters), t seconds after the diver leaves the springboard.



a. How high above the water is the springboard? Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The height of the springboard above the water should be h(0) : Read, the height at t = 0

h(0) = -5(0) + 10(0) + 3

h(0) = 0 + 0 + 3

h(0) = 3

a) 3 meters

b)  The time it takes the diver to hit water should be, the positive 0 solution for t.  Remember, in a quadratic equation,  there are two values for t where a parabola crosses the horizontal axis, which in this case would be t.  Just by looking at the function, h(t) = -5t2 + 10t + 3 , one should be able to see that it cannot be factored easily, so it requires the Quadratic Formula to find the zeros ; x = -b ±√(b2-4ac)  / 2a

Substitute t for x, and use the coefficients for a, b, c:

t  =  (-10 ± √((102 - 4(-5)(3)))/2(-5)

t = (-10 ±√(100 + 60))/-10

t = (-10 ±√160)/-10) ; Now factor the 160 to simplify:

t = (-10 ±√(10*16))/-10

t = (-10 ±4√10)/-10 ; Factor out leading coefficient of -2 from the numerator:

t = -2(5 ± 2√10)/-10

t = (5 ± 2√10)/5

Using a calculator to find the zeros, and disregarding the negative zero (because t starts at 0):

t ≈ 2.265

b) approx. 2.265 seconds for diver to hit water.

c) To find this, set the function equal to 3 to find what other value for t would be equal to 3 (we know one is 0).

-5tt + 10t + 3 = 3

-5t2 + 10t = 0 ; factor out t

t(-5t + 10) = 0

We know t = 0:

We also know that -5t + 10 = 0

-5t = -10

t = 2

c) 2 seconds. This is the time that diver would equal height of t=0 which is where he started, and where he equals the height of the springboard.

d and e) The peak of the dive (parabola), is determined using the formula h = -b/2a (Derived from the Quadratic Formula) to find the y value (in this case, the h value, answering e) and then using that result in the function to find the x value (in this case, the t value answering d) of the point where the parabola (dive path) reaches a maximum(height), or minimum(in upward opening parabolas).

h = -10/2(-5)

h = -10/-10

h = 1

h(1) = -5(1)2 + 10(1) + 3

h(1) = -5 + 10 + 3

h(1) = 8

d) At t = 1 second, diver will have reached peak of dive.

e) At t = 1 second, diver will have reached a maximum height of 8 meters.

a line has a slope of -19/8 and passes through the point (0,12). what is its equation in slope intercept form​

Answers

Answer:

y=-19/8x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

m is slope

b is y-intercept

So we already know what the slope is so we can plug that in

y=-19/8x+b

Now  with the point we can substitute x and y with the point values

[Remember a point is (x,y)]

0 is x

12 is y

12=b

So the slope intercept form of this is

y=-19/8x+12

a car travels 55 miles per hour for 2 hours. How far did it travel in 1 1/2 hours

Answers

Answer:

82.5 miles in 1 1/2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the information the question gives us we can find the appropriate answer to this question by dividing the miles per hour by two, and then add that number to the additional miles per hour.

55 miles = one hour

2 hours = 110 miles

1 1/2 hours = 55 ÷ 2 = 27.5

55 + 27.5 = 82.5 miles

82.5 miles
