Answer:

Option B is correct

A number 1 represents the growth rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the exponential growth formula:

y=a(1+r)^x            .....[1]

where,

a is the initial amount

r is the growth rate

x is the number of years.

As per the statement:

The bacteria in an old piece of cheese is growing at a rate that can be modeled by

y = 280 • 2^x

We can write this equation as:

y = 280 \cdot(1+1)^x

On comparing with equation [1] we have;

1+1 = 1+r

Subtract 1 from both sides we have;

1 = r

or

r = 1

Therefore, the growth rate is, 1.

The answer is <span>C.) 2

The general form of formula is
y = a </span><span>• r^x
y - the total number of bacteria after x period of time
a - the initial number of bacteria
r - growth rate
x - period of time

Let's compare:
</span>y =    a   • r^x
<span>y = 280 • 2^x

Since r = 2, the growth rate is C.) 2</span>
