Question

The population of a specific strain of bacteria in a culture medium is given by f(x) = x + 3 where f(x)is the population in millions and x
is the time in hours. Find the piecewise function that matches this absolute value function. Then, graph the function using a graphing calculator
and describe what you see.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = { 0, x<0; 0 <= x, (x +3) * 1000000 }

(Note the graph ought to flatten to zero for x < 0)
