Will mark brainliest the number of bacteria in an experiment can be represented by f(x) = 4x, where x represents the number of hours. what is x when f(x) = 64? a. x = 60; in the 60th hour there will be 64 bacteria. b. x = 3; in the 3rd hour there will be 64 bacteria c. x = 16; in the 16th hour there will be 64 bacteria. d. x = 4; in the 4th hour there will be 64 bacteria.

x = 3; In the 3rd hour there will be 64 bacteria

Option B is correct

x = 3, In the 3rd hour there will be 64 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

The number of bacteria in an experiment can be represented by:

          .....[1]

where, x represents the number of hours.

We have to find x when f(x) = 64

Substitute f(x) = 64 in [1] we have;

We can write 64 as:

then;

On comparing both sides we have;

or

x = 3 hours

Therefore, the value of x = 3 hours , In the 3rd hour there will be 64 bacteria
