Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear function the rate of change is constant. It means either the function increase by a constant rate or function decrease by a constant rate.

In an exponential function the rate of change is not constant.

It is given that the population of bacteria increases by 30 every hour.

Since the population of bacteria increases by a constant rate therefore the population function is linear and it is defined as

P(t)=P_0+30t

Where P₀ is initial population and t is time in hours.

Therefore correct option is D.

Answer:

x = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line segment has a total angle of 180°. Therefore, to find the angle inside the triangle that is next to 94°, subtract 94 from 180:

180° - 94° = 86°

That angle is almost a right angle but not quite. Now, to find x, add up the two angles inside the triangle and subtract it from 180°:

43° + 86° = 129°

180° - 129° = 51°
