So it starts with 12 in the bacterial population. After 1 hour, 6 are added. After another hour passed, 9 are added. 12/1, 18/6, 27/9.
Answer:
Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.
The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the price of a component has the following format:

In which P(t) is the price after t years, P(0) is the initial price, and r is the rate that the price decreases.
Since the price is given by an exponential function, the decline in price is exponential.
The price of a computer component is decreasing at a rate of 15% per year.
This means that 
Component costs $60 today
So P(0) = 60. Then



What will it cost in three years?
This is P(3).


The component will cost $36.8475 in three years.

Hello!
To find our answer, we just multiply by 2.
2,134(2)=4,268
Therefore, there would be $4,268.
I hope this helps!
