Ron is conducting an experiment on the growth of bacteria after a certain amount of hours on a petri dish. the number of bacteria, a, gradually increases over 8 hours to an amount, b, several hundred thousand times greater than a. which of the following functions would best model the situation above? logarithmic, absolute value, step, polynomial

f

step-by-step explanation:

f

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
