- The initial number of bacteria present is equal to 270 bacteria.
- The number of bacteria that will be in the petty dish after 12 hours is 167818 bacteria.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
An exponential function can be defined as a mathematical function whose values are generated by a constant that is raised to the power of the argument. Mathematically, an exponential function is represented by this formula:
f(x) = eˣ
<h3>How to calculate the initial number of bacteria?</h3>
B(t) = 150e^0.585t
When t = 1, we have:
B(1) = 150e^0.585(1)
B(1) = 150e^0.585
B(1) = 269.25 ≈ 270 bacteria.
<h3>How many bacteria will be in the petty dish after 12 hours?</h3>
B(12) = 150e^0.585(12)
B(12) = 150e^7.02
B(12) = 167817.99 ≈ 167818 bacteria.

Life As u progress through it
speed of a car because there are not that many digits in the result
Thank you for this some people don’t do this!
The answer is B because so 28 and numerical
