It would be f(t)= 25^t+1
If you plugged in '2' as 't',
25^2+1= 15, 625 which uses the second day of the bacteria.
Alrighty
remember

means

and

and

for all real values of x
so

means

means

which simplifies to
1=x²+4x-5
minus 1 both sides
0=x²+4x-6
use quadratic formula or complete the square

and

2 solutions
Independent variable (IV): something the scientist can change.
Thus, in this case, the IV can be the weight of the person.
Ok first we can split it in two :

and

.
The derivative of

is 3.
For the first part, we use the chain rule :
![[f(g(x))]'=g'(x)f'(g(x))](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bf%28g%28x%29%29%5D%27%3Dg%27%28x%29f%27%28g%28x%29%29)
hence

(since the derivative of the exponential is itself) hence
