Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(0) = -5^0 = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
2² * 3 * 5 = 4 * 3 * 5 = 60.
3² * 5² = 9 * 25 = 225.
This can be expressed as exponential growth of the form:
f=ir^t, f=final amount, i=initial amount, r=common ratio (rate), t=time
In this case we are given the point (2, 6500) and i=5000 so we can solve for the rate...
6500=5000r^2 divide both sides by 5000
1.3=r^2 take the square root of both sides and note that we know r>0
r=1.3^(1/2) so our equation becomes:
f=5000(1.3)^(1/2)^t and knowing that (a^b)^c=a^(b*c) we can say:
f=5000(1.3)^(t/2) so for t=18
f=5000(1.3)^9
f≈53022 (to nearest whole bacteria)
I think it would be 883 if you just 60?
