Using the graph of the linear function y = x, the ocean floor will spread 10 inches in 10 years.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The linear function that models this situation is:

y = x.

Which means that the ocean floor spreads at a rate of 1 inch per year.

Looking at point A on the graph, when x = 10, y = 10, hence the ocean floor will spread 10 inches in 10 years.

Answer:

$51.72\text{ cells per hour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the function, P(t), represents the number of cells after t hours.

This means that the derivative, P'(t), represents the instantaneous rate of change (in cells per hour) at a certain point t.

So, we are given that the quadratic curve of the trend is the function:

$P(t)=6.10t^2-9.28t+16.43$

To find the <em>instanteous</em> rate of growth at t=5 hours, we must first differentiate the function. So, differentiate with respect to t:

$\frac{d}{dt}[P(t)]=\frac{d}{dt}[6.10t^2-9.28t+16.43]$

Expand:

$P'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}[6.10t^2]+\frac{d}{dt}[-9.28t]+\frac{d}{dt}[16.43]$

Move the constant to the front using the constant multiple rule. The derivative of a constant is 0. So:

$P'(t)=6.10\frac{d}{dt}[t^2]-9.28\frac{d}{dt}[t]$

Differentiate. Use the power rule:

$P'(t)=6.10(2t)-9.28(1)$

Simplify:

$P'(t)=12.20t-9.28$

So, to find the instantaneous rate of growth at t=5, substitute 5 into our differentiated function:

$P'(5)=12.20(5)-9.28$

Multiply:

$P'(5)=61-9.28$

Subtract:

$P'(5)=51.72$

This tells us that at <em>exactly</em> t=5, the rate of growth is 51.72 cells per hour.

And we're done!

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

6^2 + B^2 = 7^2

36 + B^2 = 49

B^2 = 13

B = 3.61
