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.

The sum of seven angles of an octagon is 132 degrees each. Find the measure of the eighth angle.
Sauron [17]

the sum of the angles in an ngon (a polygon with n sides) is (n-2)*180

so an octagon has 8 sides and has a sum total of (8-2)*180=1080 degrees

if each of 7 angles is 132, then 1080=?+7*132

1080=?+924

156=?

the 8th angle is 156 degrees

How do you do this question?
romanna [79]

Answer: B) Demand will most likely be elastic

Place yourself in the shoes of the employer. To them, demand is them needing/wanting workers. Specifically we call this "labor demand". The supply is the potential or current worker providing the service and/or making the product.

If the price goes up, then this means the worker earns higher wages. This in turn causes labor demand to fall. So the employer will be less likely to hire more workers if the wages increase. It's similar to how if the price of an item goes up in a store, then less people are probably going to buy it.

Demand is elastic because a small change in price causes a large change in demand. The company is going to be sensitive to wage changes. The company sees that it is approaching the diminishing returns, so it is likely to scale back on labor to save costs. It's all about trying to minimize costs and maximize revenue. Often, revenues can't be changed very much since customers are themselves sensitive to price changes (assuming there are substitutes in the market), so the company will turn to trying to reduce costs as much as possible leading to maximum profit.
