Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 50,653

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1000(3.7)^x

After 3 hours   x=3

y = 1000(3.7)^3

y = 1000(50.653)

y =50653

Answer 2

Answer: OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that in the function $y = 1000(3.7^x)$ the variable "y" is the number of bacterias in a petri dish  and the variable "x" is the number of hours.

Then, to answer the question "How many bacteria will there be after 3 hours?", you need to substitute $x=3$ into the function.

Therefore, the number of baterias after 3 hours will be:

$y = 1000(3.7^3)$

$y = 1000(50.653)$

$y = 50,653$

This matches with the option C.
