A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before tr

eatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?
A. f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

B. f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

C. f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

D. f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step by step explanation:

The exponential function is defined as

f(x)=ab^x

Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor or decay factor.

The initial population of bacteria is 5000.

After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. It means the growth factor or decay factor is

\frac{40}{100}=0.4

Therefore the required function is

f(x)=5000(0.4)^x

The horizontal asymptote is y=0 because

f(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow\infty

Therefore option A is correct.

carolus linnaeus created the linnaean system of classification using 2 latin names to designate each organism
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

<em>Carolus Linnaeus devised the binomial nomenclature system under which the organisms were named using their Genus name and Species name. </em>The Genus name was written first, forward by the species name. The system of binomial nomenclature allowed for assigning a scientific name to all the organisms so that the conversations between scientists could be made easier. For example, humans have the scientific name<u><em>,</em></u><em> Homo Sapiens</em>, where Homo is the genus name and sapiens is the species name.
