Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The function representing the growth of number, in billions, of the DNA sequences in a database x years since 2010 is:

f(x)=7\cdot (1.32) x

The general growth function can be represented as:

y=a\cdot (1+r)^{t}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>t</em> = time

Com-paring the two functions we get:

1+r=1.32\\r=1.32-1\\r=0.32

This implies that the annual increase rate in number, in billions, of the DNA sequences is 32%.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,0) and (1,2).
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

y = 2/3x + 1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(2 - 0) / (1 + 2)

2 / 3

= 2/3

Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

2 = 2/3(1) + b

2 = 2/3 + b

1 1/3 = b

Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b

y = 2/3x + 1 1/3 is the equation of the line
