The growth of a strain of bacteria can be modeled by the function graphed, where the x-values are the time in seconds and the y-values are the number of bacteria. How many bacteria are there initially? 0 2. 7 2. 8 4.

Respuesta :

Initially, there are 2. 7 bacteria.

Exponential graphs are the illustrations of the variables on the x and y-axis and the line is in increasing form. The function of the graph can be given as, [tex]\rm y = 2^{x}[/tex]. The graph is in continuous lines and all the domains of the axis are real numbers.

What is the number of bacteria initially?

When the graph is analyzed it can be seen that the x-axis represents the number of bacteria and the y-axis represents the time in seconds. From the graph, it can be seen that at the initial phase or at the 0 seconds there are 2.7 bacteria.

As time increases the number of bacteria also varies and the increase in their number can be seen from 2.7 to 3.153 in 4 seconds of time. The exponential growth can be seen in the bacterial strain.

Therefore, option B is correct.
