Answer:
The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 12% each
day.
Step-by-step explanation:
-This is an exponential growth/decay function of the form:
Where
- b is the growth factor
- r is the growth rate
- y is the size at time x
- x is time
- a is the initial size
-Given that b>1, this is a growth function and the population increases by 12% for each unit time elapsed.
-Hence, the correct statement is the number of bacteria increases at a rate of 12% each day.
Answer:
- Set original amount = x
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x =
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
