If f(x) is the total number of bacteria present in a sample after x hours, which of the following statements best describes the meaning of f(2) = 12? the total number of bacteria present in the sample after 12 hours is 2. the total number of bacteria present in the sample after 6 hours is 2. the total number of bacteria present in the sample after 2 hours is 12. the total number of bacteria present in the sample after 6 hours is 12.

Option C is correct that is The total number of bacteria present in the sample after 2 hours is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: f(x) is a function which gives total no of bacteria present in sample after x hours.

So, f(c) = 12 means 12 bacteria present in a sample after 2 hours.

Therefore, Option C is correct that is The total number of bacteria present in the sample after 2 hours is 12.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
