8. Your cousin has a credit card debt of $5,000 with a company that charges 24% interest compounded daily. You help them find another company that charges 19.9% interest compounded continuously to transfer the debt to. In order to do so, they have to pay a transfer fee of $150 making the amount they would owe to the new company $5,150. Assuming they are not able to pay off any of the debt in the first 2 years, would you advise them to keep the balance with their original company or transfer the money over to the new card in order to pay less money? Clearly document your problem-solving process. 1. A scientist working for a public health agency is conducting experiments with e-coli on hamburger meat. She uses the function E(x) = 20 (1.25)* to model the number of e-coli bacteria present in one ounce of meat as a function of the number of hours since the meat is first infected. a. Explain the meaning of the constants 20 and 1.25 in the context of your problem b. Define your variables x and E(x) in the context of this problem c) USDA inspectors in the field use a test for e-coli that cannot detect infection levels below 5,000 bacteria per ounce. How long will it take after a piece of meat is infected for inspectors to be able to detect the presence of e-coli? Document your process
