257 is the answer to this question
The formula for finding the surface area of a cube is A=6y^2 where y is the side length. we know a=96. so we just isolate y.
96/6= 6y^2 / 6
16=y^2
sqrt (16) = sqrt(y^2)
4=y
So y is 4
okay. the point has an x and y value. place them into the equation.
1=m(1)+b
m=slope, and theequation tells you that slope is 7.
1=7(1)+b
now you need to figure out what b is.
1=7(1)+b
^
1= 7 +b
-7 -7
---------------
-6=B
b is 6. now place it into the equation, replacing the x and y values back.
y=7x-6.
write 7 and 6 in the boxes (the negative for the six has already been provided)
Part A: After 9 days the radius of algae was approximately 12.81 mm. The reasonable domain to point is (0,9).
Part B: The 9 on the y-intercept represents the amount of algae the experiment started with.
Part C: (12.81-10.12)/7=0.38
