Question

At the start of an experiment , there are 30 bacteria dish. The bacteria population is expected to grow at a rate of 180% each day. Which is the best prediction for the bacteria population after 7 years?

A.51,750
B.40,479
C.2682
D.1837

Answer 1

Your question is incorrect because it should be after 7 days not years
So according to that
X=30×(1+180÷100)^(7)
X=40,479

Answer 2

The best prediction for the bacteria population after 7 years which is expected to grow at a rate of 180% each day is 40,479.

What is exponential function?

Exponential function is the function in which the function growth or decay with the power of the independent variable. The curve of the exponential function depends on the value of its variable.

The exponential function with dependent variable y and independent variable x can be written as,

$y=a(1+r)^t$

Here, (r) is the rate and (t) is the time.

At the start of an experiment , there are 30 bacteria dish.  The bacteria population is expected to grow at a rate of 180% each day.

$y=30(1+\dfrac{180}{100})^7\\y=40479$

Thus, the best prediction for the bacteria population after 7 years which is expected to grow at a rate of 180% each day is 40,479.
