A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, witch grow at rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6 days after inoculation?

the population of the culture 6 days after inoculation is 2313.

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the population after t days.

t represents the number of days.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 1000

r = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

t = 6 days

Therefore

y = 1000(1 + 0.15)^6

y = 1000(1.15)^6

y = 2313

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
