Option a: The number of bacteria at time x is 0.
Option b: An exponential function that represents the population is
Option c: The population after 10 minutes is 11534(app)
Explanation:
It is given that the coordinates of the graph are (0,200), (1,300) and (2, 450)
Option a: To determine the number of bacteria x when y = 200
From the graph, we can see that the line meets y = 200 when x = 0
Thus, the coordinates are (0,200)
Hence, the number of bacteria at time x is 0 when y = 200.
Option b: Now, we shall determine the exponential function of the population.
The general formula for exponential function is
Where a is the starting point and
b is the common difference.
To determine the common difference, let us divide,
Also,
Hence, the common difference is
Thus, substituting the values and
in the formula
,
we have,
Hence, An exponential function that represents the population is
Option c: To determine the population after 10 minutes, let us substitute in
, since the x represents the population of the bacteria in minutes.
Thus, we have,
Hence, the population after 10 minutes is 11534(app)
There are ways of picking 2 of the 10 available positions for a 0. 8 positions remain.
There are ways of picking 3 of the 8 available positions for a 1. 5 positions remain, but we're filling all of them with 2s, and there's
way of doing that.
So we have
The last expression has a more compact form in terms of the so-called multinomial coefficient,
