% per hr
(b) What was the initial size of the culture?
bacteria
(c) Find an expression for the exact number of bacteria after t hours, (t).
y(t) =
(d) Find the number of bacteria after 5.5 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
bacteria
(e) Find the rate of growth in bacteria per hour) after 5.5 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
bacteria per hour
(f) How many hours did it take for the population to reach 104,000? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
hr

A. 86.64%

B. 80

C. y(t)= 80

D. y(5.5) = 9388

E. y(t) = 8134 bacteria for every hour

F.  8.28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The bacteria count after 4 hours y(4) = 2560

The bacteria count after 12 hours y(12) = 2621440

equation 1: ye^4k = 2560

equation 2: ye^12k= 2621440

divide (2) by (1),

e^8k = 1024

Taking ln both sides:

ln(e8k ) = ln(1024)

8k = 6.931

k=0.8664      // after dividing both sides by 8

rate of growth k% = 0.8664*100 = 86.64%

b. substituting for k in equation 2:

   ye^4*0.8664 = 2560

   Initial bacteria count y(4) = 80

c. y(t)= 80e^0.8664t

d. the number of bacteria after 5.5 hours => y(5.5) = 80 ≈ 9388

e. y'(5.5) = 80*0.8664e^0.8664(5.5) = 69.31e^0.8664(5.5) = 8134

f. for bacteria population = 104000

where ye^0.8664t = 104000

   y = 80

   80e^0.8664t = 104000    //divide both sides by 80

   e^0.8664t = 1300

   ln(e^0.8664t = ln(1300)

   t = 7.17 / 0.8664 = 8.28 hours

both equations and proportions are better.

answer

false

explanation

these practices describe the manner the land use outcome is attained. land management methods implemented by corporations are a mandatory because they are a driver for better land use results economically, socially and environmentally. corporations are required to understand the connection between land use , and land management practices to support sustainable land use policies
