Aculture started with 3000 bacteria. after 2 hours it grew to 3300 bacteria. predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 hours. round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

where

y is the population of bacteria

a is the initial value

r is the rate of growth

x is the number of hours

we have

a=3,000 bacteria

For x=2, y=3,300

substitute

Apply square root both sides

substitute in the equation

Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 hours

For x=16 hours

substitute

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
