Question

A colony contains 1500 bacteria. The population increases at a rate of 115% each hour. If x represents the number of hours elapsed, which function represents the scenario? f(x) = 1500(1.15)x f(x) = 1500(115)x f(x) = 1500(2.15)x f(x) = 1500(215)x

Answer 1

the first one f(x) = 1500(1.15)x

Explanation:

100% is written as 1 -> 100% of 36 is 36 so 36 * 1 = 36

hope this helps

Answer 2

f(x) = 1500(2.15)x thank me later
