`n=12times2^(t/3)`
The number of mice in a certain colony is shown by the formula above, such that n is the number of mice and t is the time, in months, since the start of the colony. IF 2 years have passed since the start of the colony, how many mice does the colony contain now?

  • E_(n)=-(2,18times10^(-18))(Z^(2))/(n^(2)) Electrons follow paths, called orbits around the nucleus of an atom. According to the Bohr model, the energy in joules of an atom's nth orbit containing a single electron is given by the formula shown above, where Z is the atomic number of the atom and n is the orbit number. Which of the following equations gives the atomic number of an atom given the energy of its nth orbit (assuming there is a single electron is that orbit)?

    A botanist is cultivating a rare species of plant in a controlled environment and currently has 3000 of these plants. The population of this species that the botanist expects to grow next year, N_("next year") , can be estimated from the number of plants this year, N_("this year") , by the equation below. N_("next year")=N_("this year")+0.2(N_("this year"))(1-(N_("this year"))/(K)) The constant K in this formula is the number of plants the environment is able to support. The botanist would like to increase the number of plants that the environment can support so that the population of the species will increase more rapidly. If the botanist’s goal is that the number of plants will increase from 3000 this year to 3360 next year, how many plants must the modified environment support?

    Three colonies of insects were each treated with a different pesticide over an 8-week period to test the effectiveness of the three pesticides. Colonies A, B, and C were treated with Pesticides A, B, and C, respectively. Each pesticide was applied every 2 weeks to one of the three colonies over the 8-week period. The bar graph above shows the insect counts for each of the three colonies 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after the initial treatment. Of the following, which is closest to the ratio of the total number of insects in all three colonies in week 8 to the total number of insects at the time of initial treatment?
