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

Christopher is going to install wallpaper on the four walls of his room. Two of the walls are 14 feet long by 9 feet high. The o
Aliun [14]
Given:
2 walls - 14ft by 9ft
2 walls - 20ft by 9ft

Wall 1 & 2 = 14ft * 9ft = 126 ft² x 2 = 252 ft²
Wall 3 & 4 = 20ft * 9ft = 180 ft² x 2 = 360 ft²

Total area = 252 ft² + 360 ft² = 612 ft²

Cost of 1 single roll: $20
612 ft² ÷ 18 ft² = 34 rolls * $20 = $680

Cost of double roll: $40
612 ft² ÷ 54 ft² = 11.33 rolls ⇒ 12 double rolls
12 * $40 = $480

If Christopher opts for 1 single roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $680.
If he opts for double roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $480.

Double roll of wallpaper is the cheaper option. He'll save $200 if he'll buy the double roll of wallpaper.
