The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate parameter of 1.5% per hour. How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double?
Note: This is a continuous exponential growth model.
Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

1

x = 1

step-by-step explanation:

0 ÷ x = 0

0 ÷ 1 = 0

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get

77
