B. neither linear nor nonlinear
C. both linear and nonlinear
D. nonlinear

Answer 1

nonlinear

Answer 2

cORRECT :)

Answer 3

how do you know

Answer 4

it would be exponential because the bacteria is doubling every hour, so you could think of that as 2x and then the entire population doubles so it would be like saying 2x^2. Also alot of times with population problems and doubling like that it is exponential growth, meaning lots and lots of growth and more and more each time period.

Answer 5

i said how did she know unless it was a rhetorical question
