Using Heron's formula:
A = √(p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)) where a,b,c are the sides of the triangle and p is half the perimeter.
The answer is B. 149.4 square units.
It's a linear function. We need only two points to draw a graph.
We choose any values of x and calculate the value of y.

for x= 0 → y = 3(0) - 1 = 0 - 1 = -1 → (0, -1)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5 → (2, 5)

for x = 0 → y = 3(0) - 1/3 = 0 - 1/3 = -1/3 → (0, -1/3)
for x = 2 → y = 3(2) - 1/3 = 6 - 1/3 = 5 2/3 → (2, 5 2/3)
Answer:
a)
b) 334,858 bacteria
c) 4.67 hours
d) 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Initial number of bacteria is the coefficient, that is, 250. And the growth rate is the coefficient besides “t”: 0.15. It’s rate of growth because of its positive sign; when it’s negative, it’s taken as rate of decay.
Another way to see that is the following:
Initial number of bacteria is N(0), which implies
. And
. The process is:
b) After 2 days means
. So, we just replace and operate:
c)
d)
Refer the attached figure for the graphic representation of the given quadratic equation.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given expression:

To find:
The graphic representation of the given quadratic function
For solution, plot the graph to the given quadratic equation.
