The answer is B) The initial number of bacteria is 57, and the growth rate is 31% per hour.


The expression shown is an <em>exponential expression</em>.  An exponential expression usually takes the form ab^{x}, as this one does.  A represents the <em>initial value</em>, in this case-the initial number of bacteria.  B represents the <em>growth rate</em>.  When it is an increasing growth rate, it will begin with 1, because it will have everything it had before, plus the percent increase, the decimal portion.  In this case, a=57, and b=0.31.


Hope this makes sense!

a carpenter has been asked to build an open box with a sqaure base. the sides of the box will cost $3 per m^2 and the base will
slamgirl [31]
<h2>Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be base side and h be the height.

Volume of box, V = a²h

The sides of the box will cost $3 per m² and the base will cost $4 per m². Cost for making is $48.

That is

                 4a² + 3 x 4 x a x h = 48

                 4a² + 12 a x h = 48

                 a² + 3 ah = 12  

                 h=\frac{12-a^2}{3a}

So volume is

                    V=a^2\times \frac{12-a^2}{3a}=4a-\frac{a^3}{3}

At maximum volume we have derivative is zero,

                    dV=4da-3\times \frac{a^2}{3}da\\\\0=4-a^2\\\\a=\pm 2

Negative side is not possible, hence side of square base is 2m.

Substituting in  a² + 3 ah = 12  

                           2² + 3 x  2 x h = 12  

                             h = 1.33 m

Dimension of box is 2 m x 2 m x 1.33 m

elise is changing the dimensions of her garden. the length is 20 feet longer than its width. if she decreases this length by 8 f
vitfil [10]
Let x be the initial width, then the initial length is x+20.
<span>If Elise decreases this length by 8 feet, she will get the new length  x+20-8=x+12.

 If Elise increases the width by 10 feet, <span>she will get the new width x+10.

Help please this is due rn​
Rama09 [41]
Since these are alternate interior angles, they are equal. So, you would set them equal to each other (-5+13x=60). Then, add 5 to both sides to get 13x=65. Divide 65 by 13 to get the final answer, x=5
