The growth factor for the mass of bacteria is 2.8 in 1 week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the bacteria in the culture increase by 260% per week. Now we assign values to get a better understanding. If there were 1,000 bacteria in the culture at the start of the week there would be 1,000 + 260% at the week's end = 1,000 + 2,600 = 3,600 at the week's end.

Step 2:

To calculate the growth factor, we calculate the difference between the present value and the past value and divide it by the past value.

Here the past value is 1,000 and the present value is 2,600.

Growth factor = \frac{difference in values}{past value} = \frac{3,600-1,000}{1000} = \frac{2,600}{1,000} = 2.6.

So the growth factor is 2.6 per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Volume of a cone: 1. V = (1/3)πr2h 2. Slant height of a cone: 1. s = √(r2 + h2) 3. Lateral surface area of a cone: 1. L = πrs = πr√(r2 + h2) 4. Base surface area of a cone (a circle): 1. B = πr2 5. Total surface area of a cone: 1. A = L + B = πrs + πr2 = πr(s + r) = πr(r + √(r2 + h2))

hope this helps
