Scientists are studying a bacteria sample. The function f of x equals 256. 1.15 to the x. gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of x days. Which statement is the best interpretation of one of the values in this function?

the number of bacteria increases at a rate of 15% each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function :

f(x) = 256(1.15)^x

The function represents an exponential growth function ; comparing the equation with the general form of an exponential growth function :

f(x) = A(1 + r)^t

A = the initial value of the population, = 256

(1 + r),; r = growth rate

Therefore, to solve for r ;

1 + r = 1.15

r = 1.15 - 1 ; r = 0.15

Hence, growth rate = 0.15 = 0.15 * 100% = 15%

Hence, the number of bacteria increases at a rate of 15% each day

the 3rd on is correct

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is a) "catholic church".

the proposals that liberals in mexico made during 1855 were particularly focused on a person's individual rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, freedom of assembly, and the right to possess weapons.

when the constitution was formally published 2 years later (1857). it also contained an article which permitted education free from any religious influence, the removal of the catholic church institutional privileges, and the sale of property belonging to the church. all of these provisions were clearly against the catholic church interests.
