The exponential function is given by y = 160(1.06)ˣ
<h3>
Exponential function</h3>
An exponential function is in the form:
y = abˣ
where a is the initial value of y, b is the multiplier, y, x are variables.
Let y represent the amount of bacteria after x hours.
Given an initial 160 bacteria, hence a = 160.
Also b = 100% + 6% = 106% = 1.06
The exponential function is given by y = 160(1.06)ˣ

y = ∛ (x + 6 - 3) = ∛ (x +3) -----------> graph this
(see attached)
Check: from formula above, when x = -3, y = 0
Check that this point exists on the graph... it does (check OK!)
edit reason: typo
B = 18 because 18-5 is equal to 3 and 3x3 is equal to 9.
Do you mean subtract two each day? If so...
4x3=12 and 12 divided by 2 is 6 so it would take six days to reach zero
or
you could manually subtract two from 6 each days as in 12-2=10 (1 day), 10-2=8 (2 days), and so on...
