Option B: 256 is the diameter of the bacteria after 8 hours.

Explanation:

From the given, it is obvious that the graph is an exponential function.

The general formula is given by,

y=a(b)^x

Where a is the initial population,

b is the growth rate and

x is the number of hours.

It is given that the diameter of the bacteria doubles every hour.

Then, we have,

b=2

Let us substitute the coordinate (0,1) and b=2, we get,

1=a(2)^0

1=a

Thus, substituting a=1 and b=2 in the general formula y=a(b)^x, we have,

y=1(2)^x

We need to determine the diameter of the bacteria after 8 hours.

Let us substitute x = 8 in the equation y=1(2)^x, we get,

y=1(2)^8

y=1(256)

y=256

Thus, the diameter of the bacteria after 8 hours is 256

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

The height of dachshunds is usually 1/3 their length. If Mollie is 20 inches long, how tall is she?
arlik [135]

This is a proportion problem.

Let's make her Length x and her height 1/3 x.

1/3 x = 20 inches

x = 6 2/3 inches

Molly's height is 6 2/3 inches.

Check it.

6 2/3 x 3 = ? (change the mixed number to a fraction)

20/3 x 3 = ? (multiply)

60/3 = ? (divide)

20 inches. Yes, it checks.

How would I go about solving this problem???

So.. if you take a peek at the picture below

the trunk is really just a half-cylinder on top of a square, with a depth of 2 meters

what's the volume?   well, easy enough, take the volume of the cylinder, then half it
take the volume of the rectangular prism, and then add them both

\bf \textit{volume of a cylinder}\\\\

\begin{array}{llll}
C=\pi r^2 h\\\\
\textit{half that}\\\\
\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{2}
\end{array}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=\frac{1}{2}\\
h=2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{C}{2}=\cfrac{\pi \left(  \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 2}{2}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{volume of a square}\\\\
V=lwh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
l=length\\
w=width\\
h=height
----------\\
l=1\\
w=1\\
h=2
\end{cases}\implies V=2



now.. for the surface area... \bf \textit{surface area of a cylinder}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
S=2\pi r(h+r)\\\\
\textit{half that}\\\\
\cfrac{2\pi r(h+r)}{2}
\end{array}\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\
-------\\
r=\frac{1}{2}\\
h=2
\end{cases}

now.. for the surface area of the prism... well

is really just 6 rectangles stacked up to each other at the edges

so... get the area of the lateral rectangles, and the one at the bottom, skip the rectangle atop, because is the one overlapping the cylinder, and is not outside, and thus is not surface area then

for the lateral ones, you have a front of 1x1, a back of 1x1 and a left of 1x2 and a right of 1x2, and then the one at the bottom, which is a 1x2

then add both surface areas, and that's the surface area of the trunk
