Question

In a small pertinent dish,a bacteria culture begin with single bacteria and doubles in population every hour, based on the function model p(x)=2^x
1. What coordinate point represents when only one bacterium is present in the
culture? What does this coordinate point represent in terms of the graph of the
function? What does each coordinate point represent in terms of the problem
situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

(0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) =2^x

• p(x) - is number of bacteria
• x - time, hour

Solution of p(x) = 1

• 2^x = 1
• x = 0,

Indicating initial number of 1 in the beginning

Coordinate of (0, 1) is the solution
