Part A: Nicole is scuba diving off the coast of Florida. She is currently at a depth of 125 meters below sea level and needs to begin ascending. Nicole
begins to ascend slowly at 6.5 meters per minute to avoid decompression
sickness.

1. What is the initial value and what does it represent in the context of this problem?

2. What is the rate of change and what does it represent in this context of this problem?

Ascientist places 24 cells in a petri dish. she knows the cells grow at an exponential rate, doubling in number every hour. how long will it take (in hours) for there to be 1100 cells in the dish? time to 1100 cells: 5.51832530 hours how long will it take to reach 110 cells? time to 110 cells : 2.1963972 hours what is the average rate of change in the number of cells between 9 hours and 11 hours? average rate of change: cells per hour what is the instantaneous rate of change after 7 hours? instantaneous rate of change: cells per hour note: you can earn partial credit on this problem.
