Answer: B. 4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The initial amount of bacteria in the dish A= 500

Since, The amount of bacteria in the dish doubles every 3 hours.

The multiplicative rate of change after every 3 hours = 2

Time period = 3 hours

By exponential function, we have the amount of bacteria after time period 'x' is given by :-

y=Ab^x,  where A is the initial amount , b is the multiplicative rate of change in time period x.

Number of 3 hours period in 9 hours = 3

Therefore, x=3

Therefore, the amount of bacteria in the dish after 9 hours is given by :_

y=500(2)^3=500\times8=4000

Which best describes the transformation that occurs from the graph of f(x) = x2 to g(x) = (x – 2)2 + 3?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A. right 2, up 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The function f(x) = x^2 is transformed to g(x) =(x- 2)^2+3.

We see that,

The function f(x) is translated 2 units to the right and 3 units upwards to obtain the function g(x).

So, the correct transformation is 'right 2, up 3'.

Hence, option A is correct.
