colby and jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the number of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. jaquan start with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

so, what is the question ?

all you are giving us here are some facts about what's going on. but what is the goal ? what do we need to find out ?

is it when the bacteria cultures have the same population ?

I assume that for my following answer :

"once every 2 hours" can be expressed by "x/2". with x being hours. so, instead of "x", which would mean "once every hour", we use "x/2".

"doubles (once) every 2 hours" is then

2×2×2×...×2 doubles on how many units of 2 hours we have.

this is

2^(x/2)

this is the factor we need to multiply with everything we want to behave that way (to double in size every 2 hours).

in our case here : 50 bacteria.

so, Colby's bacteria culture function is

c(x) = 50 × 2^(x/2)

similar for jaquan:

j(x) = 80 × 2^(x/3)

as his culture doubles every 3 hours.

now for the assumed question, when will both cultures have the same population ?

it is for that value of x that makes both function to deliver the same functional result.

50 × 2^(x/2) = 80 × 2^(x/3)

5 × 2^(x/2) = 8 × 2^(x/3)

now we use the log2 function on both sides and get

log2(5 × 2^(x/2)) = log2(8 × 2^(x/3))

remember the laws of logarithm. particularly

log(a×b) = log(a) + log(b)

and

loga(b) = logc(b)/logc(a)

log2(5) + log2(2^(x/2) = log2(8) + log2(2^(x/3)

log2(5) + x/2 = log2(8) + x/3 = 3 + x/3

3×log2(5) + 3x/2 = 9 + x

2×3×log2(5) + 3x = 2×9 + 2x

6×log2(5) + 3x = 18 + 2x

x = 18 - 6×log2(5) = 18 - 6×ln(5)/ln(2) = 4.068431431... hours

so, after a little bit more than 4 hours both bacteria cultures reach the exact same number of population : 204.8

which is, of course, only theoretical, as there cannot be "part bacteria" in the cultures.

now, we could calculate the x for when c(x) = 204, and the x for when c(x) = 205.

and then the same for j(x) and then see if or what overlap between these two x intervals there is.

during this overlap period both cultures will have the same (whole number) amount of bacteria.

but I think this is a topic for another question, as I am not even sure that I addressed the true original question.

the vertex of a parabola is located at (-2,5). If the parabola has a y-intercept of -27, which quadratic function represents the parabola in standard form? y=a(x-p)^2 +q

Answers

Answer:

            f(x) = -8(x + 2)² + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x - p)² + q  - the vertex form of an equation of a parabola with a vertex (p, q)

(-2, 5)  ⇒  p = -2,   q = 5

y = a(x + 2)² + 5   - the vertex form of an equation of the parabola with vertex (-2, 5)

y-intercept of -27 means x=0,  y=-27

-27 = a(0 + 2)² + 5

-27 -5 = a(2)² + 5 -5

-32 = 4a

  a = -8

The equation of the parabola in vertex form that has a vertex (-2, 5) and y-intercept of -27:

                              f(x) = -8(x + 2)² + 5

You subtract the lowest point from the highest point.

Lowest Point = 6 because the lowest y value the graph reaches is 6

Highest point is 12

12 - 6 = 6.

Answer:

Transitive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following word bank answer choices:

Complementary Angles  ⇒ Angles that add up to 90 degree

Vertical angles ⇒  pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines

Reflexive Property ⇒ equality states that a number is always equal to itself

Transitive Property ⇒ All real numbers x ,y, and z, if x=y and y=z , then x=z.

Solve:

Base on the given we know that it not complementary angles because it doesn't form 90 degree (right angle).

We Also know that it not vertical angles because it doesn't  shows angles opposite each other where two lines cross.

In addition, the given doesn't shows If a is a number, then. a = a. a=a.

Thus, Transitive Property is the answer.

Answer:

20 - (4 + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The original amount is 20.

The number of cookies left is the original amount minus the amount that was eaten.

Amy ate 4 cookies.

Her brother ate 2 cookies.

Amount that was eaten: 4 + 2

Amount left = original amount - amount that was eaten
