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

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
