PLEASE HELP FAST!! I MIGHT GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FASTEST AND ACCURATE After a special medicine is introduced into a petri dish full of bacteria, the number of bacteria remaining in the dish decreases rapidly.
The relationship between the elapsed time t, in seconds, and the number of bacteria, B(t) in the petri dish is modeled by the following function:

B(t) = 9300 x (1/64)^t

Complete the following sentence about the rate of change of the bacterial culture
The bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every seconds

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find how long it takes for the bacteria to lose half its size. We can do this by taking one point of the bacteria and finding how long it takes to go to half its size. When t=0, 9300 * (1/64)^t = 9300 * 1 = 9300 as anything to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, we can solve for t when the end result of the bacteria is 9300/2= 4650, making our equation

4650 = 9300 * (1/64)^t

divide both sides by 9300

1/2 = (1/64)^t

First, we can tell that 2^6 = 64*. Because of this, we can say that (1/2)^6 = 1^6/2^6 = 1/64, so (1/64)^(1/6) = 1/2. We know this because

(1/2)^6 = 64

take the 6th root of both sides

(1/2) = (64)^(1/6)

. This means that t=1/6, so the bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every 1/6 seconds

* if this is harder to figure out, e.g. 3 and 729, we can plug (log₃729) into a calculator

answer

explanation

the area of a circle is calculated using the formula

or

we can use any of the above formulae to calculate the required. preferably, let us use the latter since the diameter is

we substitute the diameter into the formula to get:

this is the exact value for the area of the circle.

the correct answer is a
