Suppose a set of data about the spread (in hundreds of acres) of a food-borne bacteria (after t weeks) in lettuce has the follow

ing percentage rates of change: 0.9%, 1.3%, 1.1%, 1.0%, 1.3%, 1.0%; and the following average rates of change: 2.9, 2.4, 3.7, 3.1, 3.6, 3.2. Based only on the information given, and without doing any calculations, what type of model would you use? Why? (NOTE THAT the information given is not the actual data set. I have calculated the two types of rate of change for you. You should NOT BE CALCULATING ANYTHING!) Comment:What tells you that the relation is best fit by a linear model? Use principles about what kinds of functions have consistency in which types of rates of change?

Answer:

A sinusoidal model would be used

The kind of function that have consistency in the periodic rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of model that would be used is sinusoidal model and this is because there is periodic change in the values given ( i.e the rate of changes given )

For percentage rate of changes :

starting from 0.9% there is an increase to 1.3% then a decrease to 1.1% and a further decrease to 1% before an increase to 1.3% and another decrease to 1%

For Average rate of changes:

starting from 2.9 there is a decrease to 2.4, then an increase to 3.7 and another decrease to 3.1 followed by an increase to 3.6 and a decrease back to 3.2

This relation ( sinusoidal model ) is best suited for a linear model because there is a periodic rate of change in the functions

The kind of function that have consistency in the period rate of change is the Average rate of changes

Answer:15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 3 batches it is 3 x 5/4 (5/4 is how much each batch costs)=15/4

And you must divide 15/4 by 1/4 or multiply it by 4 crossing out the denominator giving you your answer 15

Use the formula S equals 2 left-parenthesis l w right-parenthesis plus 2 left-parenthesis l h right-parenthesis plus 2 left-pare
frosja888 [35]

Answer: 52 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given surface area formula of a rectangular prism,

S = 2 wl + 2 lh + 2 hw

Where  is the length, w is the width and h is the height of the prism,

Here, length, l = 2 cm,

Width, w = 3 cm

And, Height, h = 4 cm

Thus,The required surface area of the prism,

S = 2 × 3 × 2 + 2 × 2 × 4 + 2 × 4 × 3

S = 12 + 16 + 24 = 52 square cm.

Does someone mind helping me with this question? Thank you!
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: 640

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 20/5=4, so the ratio of the areas is the square of this, or 16.

Thus, the area of ABCD is 40(16)=640.
