Your insight that the function values differ by 5 every time is very important. So your f(x) will contain 5x as a term. You have to find a constant to add or subtract to make sure f(1)=-2.

f(x) = 5x-7 does the job.

Lin counts 5 bacteria under a microscope. She counts them again each day for four days, and finds that the number of bacteria do

Liula [17]

Answer:

The population of bacteria can be expressed as a function of number of days.

Population = $5*2^{n-1}$ where n is the number of days since the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bacteria on the first day= $5 * 2^{0} = 5$

Number of bacteria on the second day = $5 * 2^{1} = 10$

Number of bacteria on the third day = $5*2^{2} = 20$

Number of bacteria on the fourth day = $5*2^{3} = 40$

As we can see , the number of bacteria on any given day is a function of the number of days n.

This expression can be expressed generally as $5*2^{n-1}$ where n is the number of days since the beginning.
