Use the graph showing Debra's account balance to answer the question that follows. ^ About how long will it take for Debra's account balance to equal $60?

A - 6 months

B - 6 years

C - 3 months

D - 3 years

2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given graph, we have

Account Balance ($) on y-axis

Time (years) on x-axis.

To know the time taken to get a balance of $60 , we check the point corresponding to 60 at y-axis and then join it to the line of the function and stop.

Then from there we drop a line to x-axis.

We get x=2.

That is it will take 2 years to get $60 balance in Debra's account.

So the correct answer is 2 years.

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.

so then what are you asking?
