A culture started with 2000 bacteria. after 2 hours it grew to 2400 bacteria. predict how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours. round your answer to the nearest whole number. P=Ae^kt

There will be 4977 bacteria present after 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for continuous growth in t years is given by :-

  (i)

, where A = initial population, k= rate of growth.

As per given, A= 2000,  

After t= 2 hours, P=2400

Put these values in  (i), we get

Taking log on both sides

put value of A=2000, k= 0.09116 and t= 10 , we get

Hence, there will be 4977 bacteria present after 10 hours.

2,600 divided by 80 = 32.5

step-by-step explanation:

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
