if this is high school i cant do it
The number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be 7,962.62.
<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>
Consider the function:
y = a (1 + r) ˣ
Where x is the number of times this growth occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth occurs.
A bacteria culture grows at a rate of 20% per minute.
If the culture initially has 3,200 bacteria specimens.
Then the equation will be
y = 3200 (1 + 0.2) ˣ
y = 3200 (1.20) ˣ
Then the number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be
y = 3200 (1.20)⁵
y = 7962.62

Actually Welcome to the concept of expo functions.
f(x) = -8(2)^x - 12 ,
for f(0) ,here substitute x = 0
so we get as ,
==> f(0) = -8(2)^0 -12
==> f(0) = -8-12
==> f(0) = -20
hence, f(0) = -20
