First one; substitute x into the equation and see if the result equal y in the coordinate
Options :
A. The initial number of bacteria is 7.
B. The initial of bacteria decreases at a rate of 93% each day.
C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.
D. The number of bacteria at the end of one day is 360.
Answer:
C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
f(x)=360(1.07)^x ; Number of bacteria in sample at the end of x days :
The function above represents an exponential growth function :
With the general form ; Ab^x
Where A = initial amount ;
b = growth rate
x = time
For the function :
A = initial amount of bacteria = 360
b = growth rate = (1 + r) = 1.07
If ; (1 + r) = 1.07 ; we can solve for r to obtain the daily growth rate ;
1 + r = 1.07
r = 1.07 - 1
r = 0.07
r as a percentage ;
0.07 * 100% = 7%
