Question
1 answer:
The number 2,000 represent the number of bacteria at t = 0 in the function.
<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>Consider the function:
y = a (1 ± r) ˣ
Where x is the number of times this growth/decay occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth/decay occurs.
If there is a plus sign, then there is exponential growth happening by r fraction or 100r %
If there is a minus sign, then there is exponential decay happening by r fraction or 100r %
The population of a certain bacteria can be modeled by the function
Where t represents the number of hours after an experiment has started.
The number 2,000 represent the number of bacteria at t = 0 in the function.
