5. A scientist is growing two species of bacteria. She defines a variable that represents the number of days after the growth begins. The number of bacteria after days is defined by: • Species A: y = 1000-2 Species B: y = 1000-2³ . (a) How many bacteria does each species start out with? (b) Which species is growing more quickly? Support your answer with math or words.
