14.0305 rounded to the nearest hundredth place is 14.03
First, identify the hundredths digit: the 3 in 14.0305
Next, identify if the next digit is greater than 5.
That digit is not greater than or equal to 5 so you would round down.
X is greater than or equal to -2 and x is less than 4
<h3>1717 bacteria will be present after 17 hours</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>The exponential growth function is given as:</u></em>
--------- eqn 1
Where,
y is future value
a is initial value
r is growth rate in decimal
t is time period
<em><u>A culture started with 1,000 bacteria. After 3 hours, it grew to 1,100 bacteria</u></em>
Therefore,
<em><u>Substitute a = 1000, y = 11000 and t = 3 in eqn 1</u></em>
<em><u>Predict how many bacteria will be present after 17 hours.</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute a = 1000 and t = 17 and 1 + r = 1.0323 in eqn 1</u></em>
Thus 1717 bacteria will be present after 17 hours
