Under ideal conditions, an E. coli bacteria cell doubles every 20 minutes. The following graph represents an E. coli population,

where x shows the time and y shows the number of bacteria cells in the population. Five stages of the bacteria's growth are marked on the graph. Select the true statement about the graph. A. The population grows at the same rate at stages B and C. B. The population grows at the slowest rate at stage A. C. The population grows more quickly at stage D than at stage E. D. The population grows at the fastest rate at stage D.

Answer: B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

the average rate of change is the same as slope (m). Calculate the slope between the beginning and ending coordinates for each stage.

A = (0, 1) → (4, 2.5)

           B = (4, 2.5) → (6, 4)

                           C = (6, 4) → (8, 6)

                                        D = (8, 6) → (10, 9)

                                                      E = (10, 9) → (12, 14)

\frac{y _{2} - y_{1}} {x _{2} - x_{1}}

<u>Stage A</u>

  \frac{2.5 - 1}{4 - 0}

= \frac{1.5}{4}

= 0.375

<u>Stage B</u>

  \frac{4 - 2.5}{6 - 4}

= \frac{1.5}{2}

= 0.75

<u>Stage C</u>

  \frac{6 - 4}{8 - 6}

= \frac{2}{2}

= 1.00

<u>Stage D</u>

  \frac{9 - 6}{10 - 8}

= \frac{3}{2}

= 1.5

<u>Stage E</u>

  \frac{14 - 9}{12 - 10}

= \frac{5}{2}

= 2.5

(A) Stage B = Stage C            False

(B) Stage A is the slowest      TRUE

(C) Stage D > Stage E             False

(D) Stage D is the fastest        False

Identify the relative maximum value of g(x) for the function shown below g(x)=7/x^2+5
Liula [17]
To find t<span>he relative maximum value of the function we need to find where the function has its first derivative equal to 0.

Its first derivative is -7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2
</span>7*(2x)/(x^2+5)^2 =0 the numerator needs to be eqaul to 0
2x=0
x=0

g(0) = 7/5

The <span>relative maximum value is at the point (0, 7/5).</span>

Please help. I will mark as brainliest
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1) m∠ZAY = 130°

2) m∠ZXY = 65°

3) m∠SVY = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the arc angle is the measure of the central angle which intercepts it so 130°

2)measure of the inscribed angle  is 1/2measure of intercepted Arc so 1/2 of 130° is 65°

3) In this case two chords intersect inside a circle and four angles are formed

Angle Formed by Two Chords is 1/2*(Sum of Intercepted Arcs) so

m∠SVY = 1/2( m arc RX + m arc YS) = 1/2( 15+55) =1/2 * 70 =35°
