Question

The growth of a new strain of bacteria is represented by y=79.31(1,48)^x,where x represents the number of days a y represents the number of bacteria.which is the best prediction for the number of bacteria on day 6

Answer 1

Choice D; 833

Explanation:

The best prediction for the number of bacteria on day 6 will be given by substituting x with 6 in the exponential growth model;

`y=79.31(1.48)^(x)\\y=79.31(1.48)^(6)\\y=833`
