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.

Answer:

           h ≤ -12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "8.4" was replaced by "(84/10)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the less equal sign from both sides of the inequality :

                    h-6-(-(84/10))≤0

Step by step solution :

STEP

Equation at the end of step

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

             h - 6     (h - 6) • 5

    h - 6 =  —————  =  ———————————

               1            5    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(h-6) • 5 - (-42)     5h + 12

—————————————————  =  ———————

        5                5  

Equation at the end of step

2

:

 5h + 12

 ———————  ≤ 0

    5  

STEP

3

:

3.1    Multiply both sides by  5

3.2    Divide both sides by  5  

     h+(12/5)  ≤ 0

Solve Basic Inequality :

3.3      Subtract  12/5  from both sides

           h ≤ -12/5

Inequality Plot :

3.4      Inequality plot for

        h  + 2.400  ≤  0

The value of h is less than or equal to -2.4.

What is Inequality?

Mathematical expressions with inequalities are those in which the two sides are not equal. Contrary to equations, we compare two values in inequality. Less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to signs are used in place of the equal sign.

Given:

h−6 ≤−8.4

Now, add both side 6

h−6 + 6 ≤−8.4 + 6

h  ≤−2.4

Hence, the value of h is less than or equal to -2.4

Line 3 show two separate equations with each factor set equal to zero. Line four show two solutions for the value of x. A. Quadratic formula B. Factoring C. Grouping

Answers

Answer:

Factoring

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are solving a quadratic equation by the factorization method, each factor is set as being equal to zero.

The solution of each bracket of factors gives the root of the quadratic equation.

For example;

x2 + 16 = 10x

We now have;

x2 - 10x + 16  = 0

x2 - 8x - 2x + 16 = 0

x(x - 8) -2(x - 8) = 0

(x-2) (x-8) = 0

(x-2) = 0

Then x = 2

Or

(x-8) = 0

x = 8

Hence;

x = 2 or x= 8

Mr. Gibbs bought number of shirts for the new members of his band. The cost for number of shirts, including $3.99 shipping, was $77.49. Each shirt cost $12.25. There was no sales tax on this purchase. How many shirts did Mr. Gibbs buy?

Answers

Answer:

Number of shirts= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

The cost for several shirts, including $3.99 shipping, was $77.49. Each shirt cost $12.25.

First, we need to calculate the net total price paid  for the shirts:

Net total cost= 77.49 - 3.99= $73.5

Now, the number of shirts bought:

Number of shirts= 73.5 / 12.25

Number of shirts= 6
