Question

Write a function rule for your bacterium in the table where h is the number of hours, and b(h) is the bacterium at h hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

  b(h) = 4^h

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of counts from one hour to the next is 4/1 = 16/4 = 64/16 ... = 4. The count at h=0 is 1, so that is the multiplier of the exponential term.

  b(x) = 1×4^h
