Question

A scientist used a microscope to count the number of bacterial cells in a petri dish every hour.

Which function most accurately represents this data, where n is the number of bacteria and 1 is the time elapsed, in hours?
a. n=2t
b. n=2^t
c n=t^2
d. n=√t​

Answer 1

a. n=2t

Explanation:

Given that

N denotes the number of bacteria

And, 1 denotes the time elasped in hours

Now based on this, the scientist used a microscope for counting the number of bacterial cells every hour

So,the function that represent correct data is

n = 2t

Therefore the correct option is A.
