The population P(t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P(t) = -1,840t2 + 81,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour.

The population is at a maximum after 22 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of a quadratic function:

Suppose we have a quadratic function in the following format:

It's vertex is the point

In which

If a<0, the vertex is a maximum point, that is, the maximum value happens at , and it's value is

In this question:

Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum.

This is the value of t at the vertex.

We have that . So

The population is at a maximum after 22 hours.

yes because there is exactly one y value for every x value

for function there can't be more than one value for every x value

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,
