Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growth
</u>
The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:

Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.
The initial number of bacteria is Po=40 and it doubles (P=2Po) at t=20 min. With that point we can find the value of r:

Simplifying:

Solving for 1+r:
![1+r=\sqrt[20]{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%2Br%3D%5Csqrt%5B20%5D%7B2%7D)

The exponential function that models the situation is:

9 and 10
11 and 12
13 and 14
15 and 16
the square root of 125 is 11.18 so therefore it falls between 11 and 12
X=1, and 3/8 it is a mixed number.
