Answer:
a) The maximum amount of water the aquarium can hold is 1728 in³.
b) The cover has to be 624 in² big.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The maximum volume of water that the aquarium can have is the same as the volume of the aquarium:
V=L×W×H=18 in × 8 in × 12 in= 1728 in³
b) The protective covering is used on the four walls of the aquarium. We have to find the areas of the four walls:
One of them is given by the multiplication of the width and the height:
A₁= W×H= 8 in × 12 in=96 in²
The other area is given by the multiplication of the length and the height:
A₂= L×H= 18 in × 12 in= 216 in²
As the fish aquarium is rectangular the area of the walls is given by:
=2×96 in²+2×216 in²=624 in²
The answer is 128

Using an exponential function, it is found that:
- For Country A, the doubling time is of 43 years.
- For Country B, the growth rate is of 1.9% per year.
<h3>What is the exponential function for population growth?</h3>
The exponential function for population growth is given as follows:
In which:
- P(t) is the population after t years.
- P(0) is the initial population.
- k is the exponential growth rate, as a decimal.
For Country A, we have that k = 0.016. The doubling time is t for which P(t) = 2P(0), hence:
t = 43 years.
For Country B, P(36) = 2P(0), hence we have to solve for k to find the growth rate.
k = 0.019.
For Country B, the growth rate is of 1.9% per year.
