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 
, 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!
Number 4: the slope is 3/4
number 5: y-intercept is 2
A straight line extending from the center of a circle or sphere to the circumference or surface.. of a circle is a half the diameter.
This question is easier than it seems. If there are 9 consecutive integers with the mean being 16, then 16 must be the median. So just add four on top and four below 16 to give you your range of 9 values, 12-20. 12+13+14+15+16+17+18+19+20=144, 144/9=16. So the mean of the first four numbers is (12+13+14+15)/4= 13.5. If you check, 13.5 is also the median of these four numbers.
