Explain the difference between 2x^3 and (2x)^3?

Which of the angle pairs can be classified as vertical angles? ∠1 and ∠2 ∠2 and ∠4 ∠3 and ∠2 ∠4 and ∠1 ∠3 and ∠1

Colby and jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the number of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. jaquan starts with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours. let x equal number of days. colbys experiment follows the model: a.) y=50*2^x b.) y=50*2^8x c.) y=50*2^12x jaquans experiment follows the model: a.)80*2^x b.)80*2^8x c.)80*2^12x

If y varies directly as x2 and y=6 when x=6, find the constant of variation.
