Initially, 40 bacteria are placed in a Petri dish. It is observed that the bacteria triple in population every 11 hours. How can this information be interpreted?

true or false

1. The scenario can be modeled by the function f( x )=40 ( 3 ) x 11 , where f( x ) represents the population of bacteria x hours after the bacteria are placed in the Petri dish.

2. After 4 hours, there are approximately 60 bacteria.
