Answer:

Option B is correct

A number 1 represents the growth rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the exponential growth formula:

y=a(1+r)^x            .....[1]

where,

a is the initial amount

r is the growth rate

x is the number of years.

As per the statement:

The bacteria in an old piece of cheese is growing at a rate that can be modeled by

y = 280 • 2^x

We can write this equation as:

y = 280 \cdot(1+1)^x

On comparing with equation [1] we have;

1+1 = 1+r

Subtract 1 from both sides we have;

1 = r

or

r = 1

Therefore, the growth rate is, 1.

The answer is <span>C.) 2

The general form of formula is
y = a </span><span>• r^x
y - the total number of bacteria after x period of time
a - the initial number of bacteria
r - growth rate
x - period of time

Let's compare:
</span>y =    a   • r^x
<span>y = 280 • 2^x

Since r = 2, the growth rate is C.) 2</span>

What kind of energy does fungi and bacteria help transform?
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>Biomass is the matter in living organisms. Biomass contains chemical energy. When organisms die, chemical compounds in their biomass break down. Bacteria, fungi, and other organisms help change these chemical compounds into simpler chemicals. These simpler chemicals are used by other living things, And chemical energy is the energy that helps in transformation of fungi and bacteria</span>

The cost to manufacture x number of chairs can be represented by the function C(x)=36x. In this context, what does the statement
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

<em>The cost to manufacture 63 chairs, and that cost is 2268.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Mathematical Models</u>

The cost to manufacture x chairs is given as the math model:

C(x)=36x

For example, to manufacture 10 chairs, we write:

C(10)=36*10=360

According to the explained above, the statement C(63)=2268 means we are calculating the cost to manufacture 63 chairs, and that cost is 2268.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of Thales Intercept Theorem, AN/NG=NE/GL

NE/GL=1/2, AG=2x-9+x+7=3x-2

2x-9/3x-2=1/2

x=16
