Okkkk sooo the equation a(b)^x is what would answer the amount of bacteria at a certain hour.
a= amount of bacteria in beginning
b=2, since the amount is doubling each hour
x= the hour, x-intercept, that you're trying to find
For example, you start with 4 bacteria, it doubles hourly, and you need to find the 6th hour you equation would be: 4(2)^6
So the answer would be 256.
Hope this time I got a better answer etcetc loll
Answer:
The general form of an exponential expression is A(b)x.
To write the expression, find the value of b. The situation models growth, so r = b − 1. Substitute the value of r to get b = 2.
Now substitute the values of A and b into the standard form of an exponential expression:
A(b)x = 1(2)x = 2x
Here, x represents the number of hours the bacteria stays in the sterile environment.
