H Brian wanted to predict the population of bacteria.
When experimenting, he started with 45 cells of
bacteria and he noticed that it decreased by 15% every
hour. He predicted that the function for the situation
will be F(x)=45 (0.15) after x hours.
a. What is the error that Brian made in the function?

We can grow 16.56 grams of bacteria in 2 weeks time.

Typically the exponential growth rate will not be given. In this case, we must determine that before we can use the model to answer the question.

Step 1: Use the given information to calculate the growth/decay rate k.

Step 2: Substitute the initial amount and k to formulate a model.

Step 3: Us the model to answer the question.

answer: ok
