The number of yeast cells in a laboratory culture increases rapidly initially but levels off eventually. The population is modeled by the function а n = f(t) = 1 + be-0.90 where t is measured in hours. At time t = 0 the population is 30 cells and is increasing at a rate of 24 cells/hour. Find the values of a and b. a = b = According to this model, what happens to the yeast population in the long run? O The yeast population will shrink to 0 cells. The yeast population will stabilize at 270 cells. The yeast population will stabilize at 135 cells. The yeast population will stabilize at 8 cells. O The yeast population will grow without bound.

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Which statement is true about hcl? (5 points) select one: a. it is a salt because it increases the concentration of metallic ions. b. it is a salt because it is formed by the reaction of an acid and a base. c. it is an acid because it increases the concentration of hydroxyl ions. d. it is an acid because it increases the concentration of hydronium ions.

One of the hopes for solving the world's energy problem is to make use of the fusion reaction 21h +31h --> 42he + 10n + energy how much energy is released when 1 mol of deuterium is fused with 1 mol of tritium according to the above reaction? the masses of the atoms and the neutrons are as follows: 21h = 2.0140 amu 31h = 3.01605 amu 42he = 4.002603 amu 10n = 1.008665 amu. the speed of light is 2.9979 x 108 m/s.
