A scientist is studying bacterial growth over time. Her research is conducted by placing 10 strep bacteria in a petri dish containing enough food for the bacteria to live and thrive for the course of the research. She records the number of bacteria present every two hours for 6 hours. The collected data is shown in the table below and on the given graph. Time (hours) 0 2 4 6
# of bacteria 10 34 91 363

a. What function, linear or exponential, do you think would be the best choice to model this data? Explain why you think your choice is the best-fit.

b. Explain how to determine which function is the best choice mathematically, without using a graph. Demonstrate your method.

c. Think of an example of at least 4 data points that would be best modeled by the function you did NOT choose in part a. Explain how you set up the data so that it worked with this type of function.
Please answer I need it

Part a what is the area of triangle i? show your calculation. part b triangles i and ii are congruent (of the same size and shape). what is the total area of triangles i and ii? show your calculation. part c what is the area of rectangle i? show your calculation. part d what is the area of rectangle ii? show your calculation. part e rectangles i and iii have the same size and shape. what is the total area of rectangles i and iii? show your calculation. part f what is the total area of all the rectangles? show your calculation. part g what areas do you need to know to find the surface area of the prism? part h what is the surface area of the prism? show your calculation. part i read this statement: “if you multiply the area of one rectangle in the figure by 3, you’ll get the total area of the rectangles.” is this statement true or false? why? part j read this statement: “if you multiply the area of one triangle in the figure by 2, you’ll get the total area of the triangles.” is this statement true or false? why?
