Answer:

384.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is given by the expression;

Y(t) = Pr^{t}

Where;

Y(t) is the number of bacteria at time, t.

P is the starting amount.

r is the growth rate.

Given that, P = 320, r = 20% = 0.2, t = 1

Substituting the parameters into the equation;

Y(t) = Pr^{t}

Y(1) = 320 * 0.2¹

Y(1) = 320 * 0.2

Y(1) = 64.

Therefore, the population of bacteria increases hourly by 64.

An hour later; 320 + 64 = 384.

Is the function ƒ(x) = (4)x – 2 an exponential function? If so, identify the base. If not, why not?
NARA [144]
No it's not an exponential equation in which f(x)is not qualified to an exponential number. no number from 1 - 20 can be used and get subtracted by 2 to give a square number.
eg-
4×2-2≠ square number
