Question

The number of bacteria in a Petri dish increases by 18% every hour. If there were initially 200 bacteria placed in the Petri dish, which function can be used to determine the number of bacteria in the Petri dish in exactly x hours?

Answer 1

i think it’s D=y=200(1.18) ^x

Answer 2

D. Y = 200(1.18)^x

Explanation:

The answer represents the correct exponential growth function. (1.18)^x represents the rate of change and 200 represents the starting value
