Study 1 Answers:
1) 0.76 represents the multiplier of the bacteria, in this case it is decreasing by 24% because the formula for exponential decay is 1 - r.
2) 1290 represents the initial value, or before the study began.
Study 2 Answers:
1) 1180 is the initial value, or before the study began.
2) Study 1 started with more bacteria
3) Study 1 is experiencing exponential decay, while study 2 is experiencing exponential growth
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential functions are in the form , where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x represents inputs, such as hours after a bacteria study.
Any multiplier above 1.00 is experiencing exponential growth, meaning it grows gradually over time, and any multiplier below 1.00 is experiencing exponential decay, meaning it decreases in population over time.
For this case we have the following quadratic equation:
Where:
By definition, the discriminant of a quadratic equation is given by:
We have to:
Two different real roots
Two different complex roots
Two equal real roots
Substituting the values we have:
So, we have two different complex roots
Answer:
Two different complex roots
