Answer:
2 hours: 3968 <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>
At midnight: 12137
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour. So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.
The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15. Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b. b is (1 + percent increase).
Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450
At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:
(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.
Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor, If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:
P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour. t is time, in hours.
If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is
P = ab^t
Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM. That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10
P = (3000)*(1.15)^10
P = 12137

▹ Answer
<em>1/18 of a gallon of juice in each cup.</em>
▹ Step-by-Step Explanation
Since we have 4/9 of a gallon of juice for 8 cups, we will divide to find the amount of juice in each cup.
Since this operation is division, we have to change 8 to it's reciprocal which is 1/8:
Our final answer will be 1/18 of a gallon of juice in each cup.
Hope this helps!

(D.) It should be a bit less than 6 quarts (5.75 / 5 & 3/4 to be exact)
Answer:
<u><em>Part A:</em></u> D.
<u><em>Part B:</em></u> C.
Step-by-step explanation:
For part A) we just have to plug in 0 for x and solve for y until we find the equation that says 3 is the value for y when x is 0. For purposes of speeding up the process the correct answer is D. I will show how to check for it now.
The equation:
Now plug in 0 for x.
Now solve.
y = (1)(3)
y = 3
This proves that this is the correct answer.
For part B) we just have to plug in the give values for x separately and check for each value of x that it equals 0. For the purpose of speeding up the process the correct answer is C. I will show how to check for it now.
The equation:
Now plug in x for 0 and solve:
This equation is true, now we check for the other value of x, 3.
This is also true so that means this is the correct answer.
