Options :
A. The initial number of bacteria is 7.
B. The initial of bacteria decreases at a rate of 93% each day.
C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.
D. The number of bacteria at the end of one day is 360.
Answer:
C. The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 7% each day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function :
f(x)=360(1.07)^x ; Number of bacteria in sample at the end of x days :
The function above represents an exponential growth function :
With the general form ; Ab^x
Where A = initial amount ;
b = growth rate
x = time
For the function :
A = initial amount of bacteria = 360
b = growth rate = (1 + r) = 1.07
If ; (1 + r) = 1.07 ; we can solve for r to obtain the daily growth rate ;
1 + r = 1.07
r = 1.07 - 1
r = 0.07
r as a percentage ;
0.07 * 100% = 7%
Answer:
L = 50 * (-0.4)^(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
r = t2/t1 = -20/50 = - 0.4
a = 50
L = 50 * (r)^(n - 1) Let's see if we can get the answer when n = 3
L=50 * (-0.4)^(3 -1)
L =50* (-0.4)^2
L = 50 * 0.16
L = 8 which is correct
17X-7Y. You add or subtract the same variables, in this case you only have two x's and one y. So you add them, because you have a addition sign. 13x+4x and you leave the Y alone, because there is not another Y variable.
