Marie can find the volume of a cube by using the formula V = s³, where s represents the side length of the cube. If Marie’s cube has a side length of 2 1\2 centimeters, what is the volume of her cube? Show your work. Make sure that you include the correct unit of measure in your answer.

The volume of her cube is cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the cube is , we proceed to convert this value into an entirely rational form:

The volume of the cube (), measured in cubic centimeters, is determined by the following expression:

(1)

If we know that , then the volume of the cube is:

The volume of her cube is cubic centimeters.

linearly: 8560 bacteria

exponentially: approximately 75233 bacteria

step-by-step explanation:

assuming it is not exponential (we would have some really complicated logarithms), let's say it is linear. then, after 5 hours, it increased by 1200 bacteria, so every hour it increases by 240 bacteria. this means that after 19 hours, we get 19 * 240 + 4000 bacteria or 3800 + 760 + 4000 = 7800 + 760 = 8560 bacteria.

because it says round your answer, i will do this exponentially (with a calculator, of course). first, we need to find how much it multiplies by every hour, by taking the 5th root of 52/40 or 13/10. this is approximately 0.167. we still need to add 1 to this, because we are multiplying by that number, not adding that amount of the number. now, we just calculate 4000 * (1.167)^19. use a calculator to get approximately 75232.6, or 75233.
