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>

Find the inverse of f (x) = x + 2 + 9
Brut [27]

Answer:

y = x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, turn the f(x) into a y:

y = x + 2 + 9

Now, switch the x and y.

x = y + 2 + 9

Add like terms.

2  + 9 = 11

x = y + 11

Now, solve for y. Subtract 11 on both sides.

y = x - 11
