x----------> the number of students
y---------> the time in minutes

we know that
<span>If the time varies inversely with the number of students
</span>so
y=k/x
for x=3
y=16 min
16=k/3---------> k=48

A researcher at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is studying the growth of a certain bacteria. He starts his exper
SpyIntel [72]

The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.

An exponential function is given by:

y = abˣ

where y, x are variables, a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplier.

Let y represent the population of bacteria after x hours.

Given that he starts his experiment with 200 bacteria, hence

a = 200

The bacteria grow at a rate of 2% per hour, hence:

b = 100% + 2% = 1.02

The exponential equation becomes:

y = 200(1.02)ˣ

After 7 hours:

y = 200(1.02)⁷ = 230

The population of the bacteria after 7 hours is 230 bacteria.
