Population model A culture of bacteria has a population of 150 cells when it is first observed. The population doubles every 12 hr, which means its population is governed by the function \(p(t)=150 \times 2^{t / 12},\) where \(t\) is the number of hours after the first observation. a. Verify that \(p(0)=150,\) as claimed. b. Show that the population doubles every \(12 \mathrm{hr}\), as claimed. c. What is the population 4 days after the first observation? d. How long does it take the population to triple in size? e. How long does it take the population to reach \(10,000 ?\)
Use the following steps to prove that \(\log _{b}\left(x^{y}\right)=y \log _{b} x\). a. Let \(x=b^{p}\). Solve this expression for \(p\). b. Use property E3 for exponents to express \(x^{y}\) in terms of \(b\) and \(p\). c. Compute \(\log _{b} x^{y}\) and simplify.
Identify the amplitude and period of the following functions. $$p(t)=2.5 \sin \left(\frac{1}{2}(t-3)\right)$$
Without using a calculator, evaluate or simplify the following expressions. $$\sec ^{-1} 2$$
Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. \(\sin (a+b)=\sin a+\sin b\) b. The equation \(\cos \theta=2\) has multiple real solutions. c. The equation \(\sin \theta=\frac{1}{2}\) has exactly one solution. d. The function \(\sin (\pi x / 12)\) has a period of 12 e. Of the six basic trigonometric functions, only tangent and cotangent have a range of \((-\infty, \infty)\) f. \(\frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{\cos ^{-1} x}=\tan ^{-1} x\) g. \(\cos ^{-1}(\cos (15 \pi / 16))=15 \pi / 16\) h. \(\sin ^{-1} x=1 / \sin x\)
