Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as
which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:
which gives us, in the end,
y = 9460
So hmmm check the picture below
so... the vertex is "p" distance from the focus and the directrix, thus, the vertex is really half-way between both
in this case, 2 units up from the focus or 2 units down from the directrix, and thus it lands at 3,3
now, the "p" distance is 2, however, the directrix is up, the focus point is below it, the parabola opens towards the focus point, thus, the parabola is opening downwards, and the squared variable is the "x"
because the parabola opens downwards, "p" is negative, and thus, -2
now, let's plug all those fellows in then
