Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume this is a function
<u>The points are</u>
<u>Since it is linear relation, we'll get the slope intercept form</u>
- g = ms + b, where g- number of gallons, s- time in seconds, b- y intercept
<u>Using the points, let's calculate the formula</u>
- m = (10 - 13)/(60 - 40) = -3/20
- 10 = -3/20*60 + b
- 10 = - 9 + b
- b = 19
<u>So the formula is:</u>
So we know that the bacteria grows 3x as much every ten minutes. From this we know that it'll be 3 mm in 20 minute. Continuing the pattern, we can figure out that in 40 minutes the bacteria will be 81 mm.
The pattern: 10min - 3 20min - 9 30min - 27 40min - 81
.44 is the correct answer
