3. dr. silas studies a culture of bacteria under a microscope. the function by 0 - 1200(1.8) represents
the number of bacteria thours after dr. silas begins her study.
(a) what does the value 1200 represent in this situation initial ammt of bacteria
(b) what does the value 1.8 represent in this situation? hrs into study
(c) the number of bacteria in a second study is modeled by the function b20 - 1000(1.8)
what does the value of 1000 represent in this situation? the amount of bacteria under the microscope in
the second study
what does the difference of 1200 and 1000 mean between the two studies? there was a different amount
of bacteria at that point in time
