2. the functions and represent the population of two different kinds of bacteria, where x is the time (in hours) and and are the number of bacteria (in thousands).
) = 2x^2 + 7 and ) = 2x.
a. between the third and sixth hour, which bacteria had a faster rate of growth?
b. will the population of ever exceed the population of if so, at what hour?

(a) Bacterial 1 had a faster rate of growth.

(b) The population of f(x) always exceed the population of g(x). In other words, population of g(x) cannot exceed the population of f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given functions are

where, x is the time (in hours) and f(x) and g(x) are the number of bacteria (in thousands).

(a)

The rate of change of a function f(x) on [a,b] is

Rate of change between third and sixth hour of first function is

Rate of change between third and sixth hour of second function is

Since , therefore bacterial 1 had a faster rate of growth.

(b)

The initial population of f(x) is 7 and it increases exponentially.

The initial population of g(x) is 0 and it increases linearly.

It means population of f(x) always exceed the population of g(x).

In other words, population of g(x) cannot exceed the population of f(x).

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
