Q: A population of bacteria triples every 2 hours. If the initial population is 100, what is the population after 6 hours?

$$100 \times 3$$^{3}$$ = 100 \times 27 = 2700$$

Question 3

If $$A = P(1 + r/n$$)^{nt}$$, what is the accumulated amount after 5 years if P = 1000$, r = 0.04$, n = 2$ (compounded semiannually)?

Question 9

If $$f(x) = 2x^2$ - 3x + 1$$, evaluate $$f(-2).$$

Accepted Answer

$$2(-2)^2 - 3(-2) + 1 = 8 + 6 + 1 = 15$

Question 10

A population of bacteria triples every 2 hours. If the initial population is 100, what is the population after 6 hours?

Accepted Answer

$$100 	imes 3$$^{3}$$ = 100 	imes 27 = 2700$$

A loan of $$\2000$ is to be paid back in 3 years at an annual interest rate of 6$$\%$ compounded annually. What is the total amount owed at the end of 3 years?

Accepted Answer

$$2000(1 + 0.06)^3$ = 2000(1.191016) \approx \2382.03$

Question 18

If $$f(x) = 4x - 7$$ and $$g(x) = x^2$, what is (f$$ \circ g)(2)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$f(g(2)) = f(4) = 4 	imes 4 - 7 = 16 - 7 = 9$$
