y and x are the coordinate on the graph.
m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.
Answer:
7.0 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using the 2 kinematic equations and you can use either:

So let's use the first one.
Vi = initial velocity
Vf = final velocity
a = acceleration due to gravity (constant 9.8m/s²)
t = time
The marble is dropped so this means that it is in free fall. The initial velocity is always 0m/s.
We are given then the following:
d = 2.5m
t = 0.71s
Vi = 0 m/s
a = 9.8m/s²
So we plug in the values we know and solve:

Container A holds x liters of water.
Container B holds 2391 liters of water more than container A, so container B holds x+2391 liters of water.
Container A and B hold 11875 liters of water altogether.

Container A holds 4742 liters of water.
If we are to derive the equation that models the growth of the amoeba, we make use of the general form:
p = po k^t
where po is the initial population
k is the multiplicative rate of change
From the problem
3po = po k^(20)
k = 1.06
The equation is
p = 800 (1.06)^t
