Fiona started her study of bacteria growth with 1,000 bacteria in a petri dish. After 1 hour, the count was increased to 1,800.

After 2 hours, the count was 3,240. After the third hour showed a count of 5,832, Fiona wrote an equation to represent the exponential growth of the bacteria. What exponential growth function did Fiona write?

Answer:

The exponential growth function is f(x) = 1000 \cdot (1.8)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Fiona started her study of bacteria growth with 1,000 bacteria in a Petri dish. After 1 hour, the count was increased to 1,800. After 2 hours, the count was 3,240. After the third hour showed a count of 5,832. Fiona wrote an equation to represent the exponential growth of the bacteria.

To find : What exponential growth function did Fiona write?

Solution :

The general form of an exponential function is y=ab^x....(1)

Where, a is the initial value and r is the rate factor.

According to question,

Initial value is a=1000

After 1 hour, the count was increased to 1,800.

After 2 hours, the count was 3,240.

After the third hour showed a count of 5,832,

Let x represents the time in hour and y represents thee count of bacteria.

Taking the points (1,1800), (2,3240).

Substitute in equation (1),

1800 = ab   .....(2)

3240 =ab^2 ....(3)

Divide equation (3) by (2),

\frac{3240}{1800}=\frac{ab^2}{ab}

1.8=b

The rate factor is b=1.8

Now, Substitute the value of a and b in equation (1)

f(x) = 1000 \cdot (1.8)^x

Therefore, The exponential growth function is f(x) = 1000 \cdot (1.8)^x

Which equation represents a line that passes through the two points in the<br> table?
wariber [46]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

use the points to find the slope (y-y1/x-x1) 3-5/3-6 = 2/3

the answers are all in point slope form so the slope is 2/3 and the point represented is 3,3
