(intro) Slope is change in y divided by change in x (axes). Here, the y axis is depth and the x axis is hours. So, the slope is change in depth between any two points, divided by the change in hours between the same points. The slope of this line is half a foot depth divided by 2 hours.
a) So, the slope is 0.5 / 2 = 0.25, or 1/4.
b) The graph shows a constant rate of change because the line is straight (it increases at the same speed. If the line was curving, it would not be a constant rate of change).
c) Yes, because the line has a constant rate of change now.
The bacteria grow from 1,000 bacteria into 12,500 bacteria in 12 hours. The exponent function would be
:an= ao(1+r)^t12.500= 1,000(1+r)^121,000(12.5)= 1,000(1+r)^1212.5= (1+r)^121+r= 1.23427r= 0.23Number of bacteria after 20hr would be:an= ao(1+r)^tan= 1,000(1+0.23)^20an= 1,000(62.821 )an= 62,821
The answer is here. Hope I did help you.
If your directrix is a "y=" line, that means that the parabola opens either upwards or downwards (as opposed to the left or the right). Because it is in the character of a parabola to "hug" the focus, our parabola opens upwards. The vertex of a parabola sits exactly halfway between the directrix and the focus. Since our directrix is at y = -2 and the focus is at (1, 6) AND the parabola opens upward, the vertex is going to sit on the main transversal, which is also the "line" the focus sits on. The focus is on the line x = 1, so the vertex will also have that x coordinate. Halfway between the y points of the directrix and the focus, -2 and 6, respectively, is the y value of 2. So the vertex sits at (1, 2). The formula for this type of parabola is 
where h and k are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the DISTANCE that the focus is from the vertex. Our focus is 4 units from the vertex, so p = 4. Filling in our h, k, and p: 
. Simplifying a bit gives us 
. We can begin to isolate the y by dividing both sides by 16 to get 
. Then we can add 2 to both sides to get the final equation 
, choice 4 from above.
