Application
6. Suppose a Petri dish containing the Pukaloverium Flu virus triples every 7 days. If there were
originally 150 virus, how many will there be in 42 days?

7. According to research by a Canadian Science initiative, scientists tried to demystify hockey gear
stench. The stench is caused by microbe manure produced when bacteria such as Staphylococcus
aureus feed on the salts, ammonia and urea secreted by the bodys sweat glands. A manufacturer has
designed a disinfecting machine that purports that with each application, 99.9% of germs are killed.
a) Write an equation that represents the percent of germs left with each n application.

b) Suppose Mr. Stranges hockey gloves have 1028 bacteria. How many applications are required to
eliminate all bacteria?

8. Chloe purchased 10000 shares of Invisalign Braces Company in the year 2000 for $2100. In 2006 the
value of her investment grew to $36000.
a) Determine the growth rate of her investment.

b) How long will it take for her investment to grow to $138000?

Thinking/Inquiry
9. Determine the slope of the line segment joining the intersection of the two functions
and

g ( x ) =3x +648 and intersecting with the point ( 5, h(5) ) for h ( x )=2x +3 .
