A biologist isolates two strains of a particular virus and monitors the growth of each, starting with samples of 0.02 grams. Strain A increases by 10% in 8 hours, and strain B increases by 13% in 11 hours. (a) How much did the sample of strain A weigh after 8 hours?
(Round the answer to four decimal places. Your answer must include units to receive full credit.)

(b) What was the hourly growth factor for strain A?
(Round the answer to four decimal places.)

(c) How much did the sample of strain B weigh after 11 hours?
(Round the answer to four decimal places. Your answer must include units to receive full credit.)

(d) What was the hourly growth factor for strain B?
(Round the answer to four decimal places.)

(e) Which strain of virus grows more rapidly? A or B

For every corresponding pair of cross sections, the area of the cross section of a sphere with radius r is equal to the area of the cross section of a cylinder with radius and height 2r minus the volume of two cones, each with a radius and height of r. a cross section of the sphere is and a cross section of the cylinder minus the cones, taken parallel to the base of cylinder, is the volume of the cylinder with radius r and height 2r is and the volume of each cone with radius r and height r is 1/3 pie r^3. so the volume of the cylinder minus the two cones is therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 4/3pie r^3 by cavalieri's principle. (fill in options are: r/2- r- 2r- an annulus- a circle -1/3pier^3- 2/3pier^3- 4/3pier^3- 5/3pier^3- 2pier^3- 4pier^3)
