Answer:

b(x) = 1,000 * 2.15^x

Step-by-step explanation:

1,000 represents the intial colony size. An increase of 115% correlates to multiplying the said size by 2.15 to the power of the hours elapsed.

Common error: The factor is 2.15 and not 1.15 as an increase of 100% is doubling the amount. i.e. if the increase was 15%, we would multiply by 1.15.

An above-ground swimming pool in the shape of a cylinder has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 4.5 feet. If the pool is fill
laila [671]

The volume of a cylinder is

                                   (pi) (radius²) (height) .

Radius = 1/2 diameter.
Radius of this pool = (1/2) (18 ft) = 9 ft

The pool is a cylinder with height of 4.5 feet. 
The water in it is also a cylinder, but only 4 ft high.

Volume of the water =

             (pi) x (radius²) x (height)

         =  (pi)  x  (9 ft)²  x  (4 ft)

         =  (pi)  x  (81 ft²)  x  (4 ft)

         =  (pi)  x  (324 ft³)  =  1,017.9 ft³ .

Sav [38]
D.) The mean will increase

The mean is all the numbers added together than divided by the amount of numbers there, so if you do this: 4 + 6 = 10 + 16 = 26 + 15 = 41/5 = 8.2

4 + 6 = 10 + 16 = 26 + 15 = 41 + 23 = 64/6 = 10.66666666666

As you can see it increased! Hope this helped! Pls give brainiest if you can
