In Problems 57–61, the length of a plant, L, is a function of its mass, M. A unit increase in a plant’s mass stretches the plant’s length more when the plant is small, and less when the plant is large.57 Assuming M > 0, decide if the function agrees with the description.

In a community of 10000 people, the rate at which a rumor spreads is jointly proportional to the number of people who have heard the rumor and the number of people of who have not heard it. When 20 people heard the rumor, it is being spread at the rate of 250 people per hour. Find a mathematical model expressing the rate at which the rumor is spreading as a function of the number of people who have heard it.arrow_forward2. The number of bacteria in a Petri dish increases by 18% every hour. If there were initially 200 bacteria placed in the Petri dish, which function can be used to determine the number of bacteria in the Petri dish in y = 200 (0.82)* exactly x hours? y = 200 (1.18)" y = 200 (1.82)* 200 (0.18)"arrow_forward
