Sam volunteers at an animal shelter. He created a line plot to show the weights in pounds of the kittens at the shelter. Line plot named as ALTDCWeights of Kittens in ShelterALTDC shows a number line from half to two and half. The number line is divided into 4 equal parts. 3 dots on half, 2 dots on 1 and 1 dot on one and half is given.

What is the total weight of the kittens in the shelter?

Which of the following exponential functions goes through the points (1, 6) and (2, 12)? f(x) = 3(2)x f(x) = 2(3)x f(x) = 3(2)−x f(x) = 2(3)−x

The biologist has a second culture to examine. she knows that the population of the culture doubles every 15 minutes. after 1 hour and 15 minutes, her assistant found that 80,000 bacteria were present. a) what was the size of the initial population? b) predict the size of the culture at t=3 hours. what was the size of the population at 40 minutes? explain and justify your answers. c) create a graph of the population as a function of time. find an equation that can be used to predict the size of the population at any time t. d) examine the rate at which the bacteria culture is growing. how fast is the culture growing after 1 hour? after 1.5 hours? after 2 hours? use a time interval of h = 0.01 hours to estimate these rates. interpret these rates in terms of the context of the problem situation. how do these three rates compare?
