A blood sample has 50,000 bacteria present. a drug fights the bacteria such that every hour the number of bacteria remaining, r(n), decreases by half. If r(n) is an exponential function of the number, n, of hours since the drug was taken, find the bacteria present four hours after administering the drug.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3125 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r(0) be the initial amount of bacteria. Every hour, r(n) decreases by half. So, after one our new value for r(n) = (1/2)r(0). After two hours, r(n') =  (1/2)r(n) =  (1/2)(1/2)r(0) = (1/2)²r(0).

After n hours, r(n) = (1/2)ⁿr(0)

So when n = 4 hours and r(0) = 50,000, then

r(4) = (1/2)⁴r(0)

r(4) = (1/2)⁴ × 50,000

r(4) = (1/16) × 50,000

r(4) = 3125

So, after 4 hours, we have 3125 bacteria present.

Hello
Can you help me to do these two exercises please I block on those please it is on the derivatives of a number

Thank you so much in advance!!!

Answers

Answer:

First rememeber that if we have a function like:

g(x) = x^n

then:

dg(x)/dx = g'(x) = n*x^(n - 1)

And also if we have:

g(x) = f(x) + h(x)

then:

dg(x)/dx = g'(x) = f'(x) + h'(x)

1) We have the function f(x) = (x + 1)^2

We can rewrite this as:

f(x) = x^2 + 2*x + 1

Using both things written above, we know that:

f'(x) = 2*x + 1*2 = 2*x + 2

And we want to find f'(-2), so we only need to evaluate the above function in x = -2, this is:

f'(-2) = 2*-2 + 2 = -4 + 2 = -2

f'(-2) = -2

b) I suppose that this refers to the inverse function of f(x)

An inverse function is such that:

g( f(x)) = x

f( g(x)) = x

For f(x) = (x + 1)^2

The inverse will be something that first cancels that square, and then subtracts 1.

Then:

g(x) = √x - 1

if we evaluate this in f(x) we get:

g( f(x)) = √(f(x)) - 1 = √(x + 1)^2 - 1 = (x + 1) - 1 = x

Then the inverse function of f(x) is:

g(x) = √x - 1

This can also be written as:

g(x) = x^(1/2) - 1

Then the derivative of this will be:

g'(x) = (1/2)*x^(1/2 - 1) = (1/2)*x^(-1/2) = (1/2)*(1/√x)

Step-by-step explanation:

acute angle because it is under 90°

If the angle measure is less than 90 degrees then it's acute, if it is equal to 90 degrees it's right or square, if it's more than 90 degrees it's obtuse, and if it's equal to 180 degrees it's a straight angle but in this case it's straight and obtuse since 180 is greater than 90.

arc RS = 116°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 chords are congruent then their minor arcs are congruent, that is

SR = TU, substitute values

6x - 28 = 4x + 20 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 28 = 20 ( add 28 to both sides )

2x = 48 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 24

Then

arc RS = 6x - 28 = 6(24) - 28 = 144 - 28 = 116°
