To start, find your equation, n=3000(.5)^t, n being your number of bacteria and t being your time. Now plug in 375 for n and solve for t, 375=3000(.5)^t, .125=.5^t, t=log_{.5} .125=3. This means your answer is 3 minutes. To check it, plug it into your equation. n=3000(.5)^t=3000(.125)=375

The expression f(x) = 12(1.035)* models the monthly growth of membership in the new drama club at a school. According to the fun
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The monthly growth rate is 3.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth function is given as follows:

y=a(1+r)^{x}

Here,

<em>y</em> = final value

<em>a</em> = initial value

<em>r</em> = growth rate

<em>x</em> = time taken

The provided expression for the monthly growth of membership in the new drama club at a school is:

f(x) = 12\cdot(1.035)^{x}

Comparing this function with the exponential growth function:

a(1+r)^{x}=12(1.035)^{x}\\\\a(1+r)^{x}=12(1+0.035)^{x}

Then value of <em>r</em> is 0.035 or 3.5%.

Thus, the monthly growth rate is 3.5%.
