The population P of a culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria is given by P = −1718t2 + 82,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time(s) at which the population was 600,000. Round to the nearest hour.

Rounding to the nearest hour, the times at which the population was 600,000 was at 9 hours and at 39 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the time(s) at which the population was 600,000.

This is t for which P(t) = 600000. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

.

This polynomial has roots such that , given by the following formulas:

In this question:

We have to find t for which P(t) = 600000. Then

So

Then

Rounding to the nearest hour, the times at which the population was 600,000 was at 9 hours and at 39 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
