A virus takes 13 days to double its original population (A = 2A0). How long will it take to triple its population? Round to
the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The exponential function to solve the problem.

A = [tex]A_0[/tex] [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

A = population in time t.

[tex]A_0[/tex] = Initial population.

r = growth rate.

t = time

The number of days taken to triple the population is 20.7 days.

What is a function?

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

The exponential function to solve the problem.

A = [tex]A_0[/tex] [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

A = population in time t.

[tex]A_0[/tex] = Initial population.

r = growth rate.

t = time

Now,

A = 2[tex]A_0[/tex]

t = 13

A = [tex]A_0[/tex] [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]2A_0[/tex] = [tex]A_0e^{13r}[/tex]

2 = [tex]e^{13r}[/tex]

Taking logs on both sides.

log 2 = 13r log e

0.30 = 13r

r = 0.30/13

r = 0.023

Now,

A = 3[tex]A_0[/tex]

A = [tex]A_0[/tex] [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

3 = [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

log 3 = rt

0.48 = 0.023t

t = 0.48/0.023

t = 20.7 days.

Thus,

The number of days taken to triple the population is 20.7 days.

A house has increased in value by 36 percent since it was purchased. If the current value is 306000 what was the value when it was purchased?

Answers

Answer:

$225,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage change we will apply the formula:

p= N-O/O *100

p is the increased percentage

N is the current value

O is the old value.

Substitute the values in the formula:

36 = 306,000 - O/O *100

Divide both the sides by 100

36/100 = 306,000 - O/O *100/100

36/100 = 306,000 - O/O

Now multiply O at both sides

36/100 * O = 306,000-O/O * O

At R.H.S O will be cancelled by O

At L.H.S 36/ 100 = 0.36

0.36 O= 306,000-O

Combine the like terms:

0.36 O+O =306,000

1.36 O = 306,000

Divide both the terms by 1.36

1.36 O/ 1.36 = 306,000/1.36

O= $225,000

Therefore  when the house was purchased its value was $225,000....

A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 12 feet more than the length of the shortest side.Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 136 feet​

Answers

x - the shortest side

2x

x + 28

The sum of these must be equal to the perimeter of the flower bed, so

x + 2x + x + 28 = 184

4 x + 28 = 184  Combined like terms

4x = 156  Subtracted 28 from both sides

x = 39  Divided both sides by 4.

So the dimensions are 39 feet, 78 feet, and 67 feet

Add all of the percentages together to get 70%

b. To find how many times more students said red than yellow, divide yellow from red. It shows you how many times yellow can go into red, giving you the correct answer.

0.26 ÷ 0.04

26 ÷ 4

A chemist has 100 ml of 25% acid solution. how much of the solution does she need to drain and replace with 70% acid solution to obtain 100 ml of 60% acid solution?

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of acid at 70% that the chemist must use will be 77.8%, while the remaining 22.2% will be acid at 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the chemist has 100 ml of solution with 25% acid, and wants to obtain a solution of 60% acid by mixing the first with another 70% acid solution, to determine how much of each solution the chemical should use necessary to perform the following calculation:

70 x 1 + 25 x 0 = 70

70 x 0.9 + 25 x 0.1 = 65.5

70 x 0.8 + 25 x 0.2 = 61

70 x 0.7 + 25 x 0.3 = 56.5

Therefore, the proportion to be used is between 70% and 80% of acid at 70%, and 20% to 30% of acid at 25%.

70 x 0.75 + 25 x 0.25 = 58.75

70 x 0.76 + 25 x 0.24 = 59.2

70 x 0.77 + 25 x 0.23 = 59.65

70 x 0.78 + 25 x 0.22 = 60.1

Thus, the proportion should be between 77 and 78% of acid at 70% and 22 and 23% of acid at 25%.

70 x 0.778 + 25 x 0.222 = 60.01

Thus, finally, the proportion of acid at 70% that the chemist must use will be 77.8%, while the remaining 22.2% will be acid at 25%.

solve the equation 4p + 2 =22,using a double number line

Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand. If she sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour, what is the percent decrease in green beans after 3 hours?

A
18.75%

B
81.25%

C
23.07%

D
16%

Answers

Given:

Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand.

She sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour.

To find:

The percent decrease in green beans after 3 hours.

Solution:

We have,

Beans sold in 1 hour = 10 pounds

So, Beans sold in 3 hours = 30 pounds

Decrease in green beans after 3 hours is 30 pounds.

Now,

[tex]\%\text{Decrease}=\dfrac{\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours }}{\text{Initial amount of green beans}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{30}{160}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{300}{16}[/tex]

[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=18.75\%[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Can someone please help me with this question I don’t understand it. Thank you

Answers

Answer:

it is 862.5

Step-by-step explanation:

each inch is 115 miles, so if theres two inches theres double the amount that there would be if there was 1 inch, so if theres 7 inches then you would have 7 times the amount it would be if there was 1 inch, in this situation theres 7.5 so you would multiply the 115 miles by 7.5 becuase that's how many inches there is, so multiplying that is the same as adding 115 plus 115 plus 115, and so on till you get the amount you need. did this help?

A computer manufacturer has found that its expenditure rate per day (in hundreds of dollars) on a certain type of job is given by where x is the number of days since the start of the job. Find the expenditure if the job takes 8 days.

Answers

Answer:

The expenditure would be $ 8600

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cost is given by the function

C(x)= 10x + 6   where x is the number of days

The cost for 1 day would be

C(1)= 16 *100 = 1600 $  ( the expenses are in hundreds of dollars)

Then Putting x= 8 in the given equation we get

C(8)= 10(8) + 6  

= 86

Multiplying 86 by 100 because expenditure rate per day  is in hundreds of dollars

The expenditure would be $ 8600
