The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width. Because we don't know either the length or the width we can't solve the problem...too many unknowns. BUT we do have some information that will help with this problem. We are told that the length is 2 feet longer than the width, so we can use that: L = W+2. Now we can make the substitution into the formula along with the value for the perimeter that was given to us: 36=2(W+2) + 2W, and 36 = 2W + 4 + 2W; 36 = 4W + 4; 32 = 4W and W = 8. Now go back to where you said that the length is 2 feet longer than the width. If the width is 8, then 8+2 = 10 for the length.

The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. How lo

Answer:

16.34 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information we can see that the case is of exponential growth

Hence, we will use the formula

$A=P(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

Here A =800 is the amount that is needed to reach

P is the initial amount that is 500

We have to find the time it will take to reach 800 that is we need to find t

On substituting the values in the formula we get

$800=500(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

On simplification we get

$\Rightarrow\frac{8}{5}=(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

Taking log on both sides we get

$\Rightarrow\log\frac{8}{5}=\log(2)^\frac{t}{24}$

using $\log\frac{m}{n}=\log m-\log n$

And $\log a^m=m\log a$

$\Rightarrow\log{8}-\log{5}=\frac{t}{24}\log2$

Now substituting values of log 8=0.903, log 5=0.698 and log 2=0.301 we get

$\Rightarrow 0.903-0.698=\frac{t}{24}0.301$

$\Rightarrow 0.205=\frac{t}{24}0.301$

$\Rightarrow \frac{0.205}{0.301}\cdot 24=t$

$\Rightarrow t=16.34$
