The table shows the predicted growth of a particular bacterium after various numbers of hours.
write an explicit formula for the sequence of the number of bacterium.
a) an=24n+1
b) an=24n
c) an=1/24n
d) an=n+24

For this case, the first thing we should do is observe that we have a linear equation.
 Therefore, we have a sequence of the form:
 
 Where, k: is the slope of the line.
 We have then:
 
 Substituting we have:
 
 
 An explicit formula for the sequence of the number of bacterium is:
 an = 21 * n
