Answer:

Option C is correct.

The surface area increases by a factor of four.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism is also known as a cuboid.

Take a rectangular prism for example with length, width and height given as x, y and z respectively.

The surface area of the rectangular prism is given as

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz = 2(xy + yz + xz)

If all the dimensions are now doubled, the length, width and height all become 2x, 2y and 2z respectively.

The new surface are is then

S₁ = 2(2x)(2y) + 2(2y)(2z) + 2(2x)(2z)

S₁ = 8xy + 8yz + 8xz

S₁ = 4 [2xy + 2yz + 2xz]

Showing that the new surface area = 4 × the old surface area.

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

S₁ = 4 × S = 4S.

Hope this Helps!!!

2(wl+hl+hw) is the surface area of the rectangular prism
If you were to double the dimensions
2(2w2l+2h2l+2h2w)
This simlifies to
8(wl+hl+hw).
The surface area increases by a factor of four.

The number of bacteria in a certain culture doubled every hour. If there were 30 bacteria present in the culture initially, how

vichka [17]

Answer:

The number of bacteria after $8th$ will be $3840$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the initially 30 bacteria present in the culture.

Also, the number of bacteria got doubled every hour.

So, using the equation

$A=A_0r^{n-1}$

Where $A$ is number of bacteria after $n$ hours.

$A_0$ is bacteria present initially.

$r$ is the common ration, in our problem it is given that bacteria doubles every hour. So, $r=2$

And $n$ is the number of hours. In our problem we need amount of bacteria at the end of $8th$ hours. So, $n=8$

Plugging values in the formula we get,

$A=30(2)^{8-1}\\A=30\times 2^7\\A=30\times 128\\A=3840$

So, number of bacteria after $8th$ will be $3840$

Simplify (write without the absolute value sign): |x−(−12)|, if x<−12

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

|x + 12|

Step-by-step explanation:

The question I took form you I assume looks like this...

|x - (-12)|

Therefore, if we simplify this, the answer is |x + 12|

This is the answer because you would multiply -1 by -12

How do I solve this?

Artemon [7]

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

In this case

49x^4y^2 - 4z^2

= (7x^2y)^2 - (2z)^2

= (7x^2y + 2z)(7x^2y - 2z)

Factors are (7x^2y + 2z) and (7x^2y - 2z)

Answer:

D) 7x^2y + 2z
