Answer:
The function is y = 40 * 2^(x/2)
The graph is in the image attached
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that models this growth is an exponencial function, that can be described with the following equation:
y = a * b^(x/n)
Where a is the inicial value, b is the rate of growth, x is the time and n is the relation between the time and the rate (the rate occurs for every two hours, so n = 2).
Then, using a = 40, r = 2 and n = 2, we have:
y = 40 * 2^(x/2)
If we plot this function, we have the graph shown in the image attached,
It is an exponencial graph, where the value of y increases very fast in relation to the increase of x.
Look at the graph below carefully
Observe the results of shifting ={2}^{x}f(x)=2x
vertically:
The domain, (−∞,∞) remains unchanged.
When the function is shifted up 3 units to ={2}^{x}+3g(x)=2x +3:
The y-intercept shifts up 3 units to (0,4).
The asymptote shifts up 3 units to y=3y=3.
The range becomes (3,∞).
When the function is shifted down 3 units to ={2}^{x}-3h(x)=2 x −3:
The y-intercept shifts down 3 units to (0,−2).
The asymptote also shifts down 3 units to y=-3y=−3.
The range becomes (−3,∞).
