Answer:
1) Recursive definition:
2) At the beginning of the 4th interval
Explanation:
1)
The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is
Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so
And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.
This means that when n = 1,
And when n=2,
Applied recursively, we get
And substituting p0,
(1)
2)
Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are
bacteria.
This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as
By simplifying,
Which means that
However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.
Answer:
1.This doesn't help COMPLETELY get rid of pollution. It might help lessen the pollution, but it definitely won't solve it, because there are also other things that cause pollution.
2.The main problem with solar power that has stifled its use is the fact that energy production only takes place when the sun is shining. And it won't be beneficial to the countries that aren't really close to the equator ( the middle east) and that might be a problem cause there just might not be enough energy/electricity.
I would say A or C I’m not sure but if I had to choose A or C my best guess would be A
I hope this helps :)
