Question

The function A left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals 12 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of fraction numerator t over denominator 6 end fraction end exponentmodels the number of water hyacinths in a population over time, where A(t) is the number of water hyacinths and t is the time, in days since the population was measured. Which is the best interpretation of left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of fraction numerator t over denominator 6 end fraction end exponent in this context?

  1. The number of water hyacinths doubled t times  
  2. The number of water hyacinths doubled every 6 days  
  3. The number of water hyacinths increased by 2 every fraction numerator t over denominator 6 end fraction days  
  4. The number of water hyacinths increased by 2 everyblank t days  

The correct answer is: The number of water hyacinths doubled every 6 days


    HINT: Take values of t blankto be multiples of 6. Then we get an increase of water hyacinths every 6 days.
    Complete step by step Solution
    Let the first value of t to be 6.
    we getblank A left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals 12 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 1 end exponent equals 24
    Let t = 12,
    Then we getblank A left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals 12 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent equals 48
    Let t = 18,
    Then we get A left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals 12 left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis to the power of 3 end exponent equals 96
    Here, we can see that the numbers are getting doubled.
    Hence, we can conclude that the number of water hyacinths doubles every 6 days.
    Option B is the correct answer.

    Two beach balls are each in the shape of a sphere. The larger beach ball has a diameter of 3x, and the smaller beach ball has a diameter of x. What is the ratio of the volume of the larger beach ball to volume of the smaller beach ball?

    volume of a sphere
    A sphere is a collection of points in space separated by r from the center. The quantity of space a solid in three dimensions takes up is known as its volume. The unit of volume is measured in cubic (in3, ft3, cm3, m3, et cetera). Before calculating the volume, ensure all measurements are in the same unit.
    Follow the steps below to determine the volume of a given sphere:
    Step 1: Compare the radius of the given sphere. If you know the diameter of the sphere, divide it by two to get the radius.
    Step 2: Find the radius of r'³s cube.
    Step 3: Now divide it by (4/3) π
    Step 4: The volume of the sphere will be the final answer.
    The volume V of a sphere is equal to four-thirds of pi times the cube of the radius.
    V = 4/3πr³
    A hemisphere's volume is equal to one-half that of its related sphere.
