Question

11. A population of bacteria triples every week in a laboratory. The number of
bacteria is modeled by the expression 900 3*, where x is the number of weeks
after a scientist measures the population size. When x = -2, what does the value
of the expression represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of weeks a population of the bacteria increases. Then, we have the number of bacteria is molded by the expression of 900*3^x. By, the given expression and when we assigned a value of x=2. Then we have 900*3² .
