A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.

Required:
a. Find the relative growth rate.
b. Find an expression for the number of cells after t hours.
c. Find the rate of growth after 6 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
d. Find the number of cells after 6 hours.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)

b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t

c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)

d. The number of cells after 6 hours is

= 89 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell divides into two cells every 20 minutes

In one hour, the cell will divide into 60/20 * 2 = 6 cells

Each cell growth 6 cells per hour

Initial population of a culture = 50 cells

t = time in hours

a. Relative Growth rate = 10% (6/60 * 100)

b. Number of cells after t hours = 50 * 1.1^t

c. Rate of growth after 6 hours = 77.2% (1.1⁶ - 1)

d. The number of cells after 6 hours = initial population * growth factor

= 50 * 1.772

= 88.6

= 89 cells

Answers

Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of hours it takes Leroy to catch up to Kevin equal x. Since speed multiplied by time is distance, Leroy would have run a total of 6x miles(6*x). Kevin already had a head start of 24 minutes, which is the same as 2/5 of an hour. In 2/5 an hour, Kevin ran 2 miles as 2 is 2/5 *5. For the next x hours his distance would be a total of 5x(5*x). This means, after x hours, Kevins distance is 5x + 2. In this case, catching up to someone is the same as having the same distance value. This means we can set the two expressions equal to each other, and solve:

6x = 5x + 2

x = 2

The time it took Leroy to catch up is 2 hours, but we are looking for the distance, which is represented by 6x. We substitute in 2 to get:

6(2) = 12

This means Leroy had to run 12 miles.

A chef is going to use a mixture two different brands of Italian dressing the first spring and days 5% vinegar the second brain contains 15% vinegar the sheriff wants to make 390$ ml addressing that is 9% vinegar how much of each brand should she use

Answers

I guess the chef is making the mixture for the sheriff... Let x be the amount of dressing with 5% vinegar that is required, and y the amount of 15% vinegar dressing (both amounts in mL).

The sheriff wants 390 mL of the mixed dressing, so that

x + y = 390

x mL of the 5% dressing contains 0.05x mL of vinegar, while y mL of the 15% dressing contains 0.15y mL of vinegar. The resulting mixture should have a concentration of 9% vinegar, so that it contains 0.09 (390 mL) = 35.1 mL of vinegar. This means

0.05x + 0.15y = 35.1

Solve for x and y :

y = 390 - x

0.05x + 0.15 (390 - x) = 35.1

0.05x + 58.5 - 0.15x = 35.1

23.4 = 0.10x

x = 234

y = 156

Write the piecewise defined function for the total cost of parking in the garage. That is, state the function C(x), where x is the number of hours a car is parked in the garage.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]C(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4x &0 \le x \le 2& \\4 +2x &2 < x \le 6& \\16 &6<x\le 8& \end{array}\right[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for question

Required

The piece-wise function

From the attachment, we have:

(1) $4/hr for first 2 hours

This is represented as:

[tex]C(x) = 4x[/tex]

The domain is: [tex]0 \le x \le 2[/tex]

(2) $2/hr for next 4 hours

Here, we have:

[tex]Rate = 2[/tex]

The total cost in the first 2 hours is:

[tex]C(x) = 4x[/tex]

[tex]C(2) = 4*2 = 8[/tex]

So, this function is represented as:

[tex]C(x) = C(2) + Rate * (Time - 2)[/tex] ----- 2 represents the first 2 hours

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = C(2) + Rate * (Time - 2)[/tex]

[tex]C(x) =8 + 2(x - 2)[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]C(x) =8 + 2x - 4[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]C(x) =8 - 4+ 2x[/tex]

[tex]C(x) =4+ 2x[/tex]

The domain is:

[tex]2 < x \le 2 + 4[/tex]

[tex]2 <x \le 6[/tex]

(3) 0 charges for the last 2 hours

The maximum charge from (2) is:

[tex]C(x) =4+ 2x[/tex]

[tex]C(6) = 4 + 2*6[/tex]

[tex]C(6) = 4 + 12[/tex]

[tex]C(6) = 16[/tex]

Since there will be no additional charges, then:

[tex]C(x) = 16[/tex]

And the domain is:

[tex]6 < x \le 8[/tex] --- 8 represents the limit

So, we have:

[tex]C(x) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4x &0 \le x \le 2& \\4 +2x &2 < x \le 6& \\16 &6<x\le 8& \end{array}\right[/tex]

how do i find the area of a cone when all i get is radius and theta? radius = 5 theta = 52°

Answers

Answer:

11.34464...

Step-by-step explanation:

it is not a 3-dimensional cone, it is a 2-dimensional segment of a circle. and you need to find its area.

which is also why you are asked to find the area, because for a 3-dimensional object you would have been asked about the volume of the surface.

now, about a circle and its segments.

you know how to get the area of a circle ?

it is pi×r²

that is for the full circle.

you know how many degrees it is to go "full circle" ?

360 degrees.

so, here we have only a segment of 52 degrees out of the full 360 degrees.

in other words we are dealing with 52/360 = 13/90 of the full circle.

all we have to do is therefore multiply the area of the full circle with that fraction, and we have our result.

pi×r²×13/90 = pi×5²×13/90 = pi×5×13/18 = 11.34464...

Step-by-step explanation:

If you can find the given points (pounds, dollars) = (2, 3.50), (3, 5.25), and (4, 7.00) on the graph, then it is an appropriate graph. If the graph label matches the value it shows for 1 pound, then that graph and label are the one you want.

Graph A meets these requirements. It shows the cost of 1 lb to be $1.75, as the label says.

A store is having a sale on chocolate chips and walnuts. For 8 pounds of chocolate chips and 3 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $34. For 2 pounds of chocolate chips and 5 pounds of walnuts, the total cost is $17. Find the cost for each pound of chocolate chips and each pound of walnuts.

Answers

Answer:

chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.

nd walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of walnuts and y the price of chocolate chips.

2x + 5y = 17 (i)

8x + 3y = 34 (ii)

Multiply (i) by 4 to get

8x + 20y = 68

Subtract (ii) to get

 17y = 34

Dividing by 17, we see that chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.

Substituting y=2 in (i) or (ii), walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.

A runner can run 2 miles in 14 minutes. At this rate, how many miles can he run in 70 minutes?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is that the runner can run 10 miles in 70 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the number of miles that the runner can run in 70 minutes, start by setting up the information given from the problem in the form of a proportion.

A proportion is an equation which defines that the two given ratios are equivalent to each other. In other words, the proportion states the equality of the two fractions or the ratios. In a proportion, if two sets of given numbers are increasing or decreasing in the same ratio, then the ratios are said to be directly proportional to each other.

The proportion for this problem will look like [tex]\frac{2 miles}{14 minutes}=\frac{x}{70 minutes}[/tex]. (x) will be used as the variable for the number of miles that the runner can run in 70 minutes.  

To solve the proportion, start by cross multiplying to form an equation, and the equation will look like [tex](14)(x)=(2)(70)[/tex]. Next, simplify the equation, which will look like [tex](14)(x)=140[/tex]. Then, solve the equation by dividing both sides of the equation by 14, and it will look like [tex]x=10[/tex]. The final answer is that the runner can run 10 miles in 70 minutes.
