- Exponential Functions from a Graph Match the exponential function with one of the graphs labeled I or II. f(x)=5x+1arrow_forwardBacteria Decay A lab culture initially contains 500 bacteria. Two hours later, the number of bacteria decreases to 200. Find the exponential decay model of the form B=B0akt that approximates the number of bacteria B in the culture after t hours.arrow_forward2526 Exponential Functions from a Graph Match the exponential function with one of the graphs labeled I or II. f(x)=5x+1 I IIarrow_forward
- Population Growth These exercises use the population growth model. 2. Bacteria Culture A certain culture or the bacterium Rhodo-bacter sphaeroides initially has 25 bacteria and is to double every 5 hours. (a) Find an exponential model n(t)=n02t/a for the number of bacteria in the culture after t hours. (b) Estimate the number Of bacteria after 18 hours. (c) After how Will bacteria reach 1 million?arrow_forwardFinding an Exponential formula In Exercise S-1 trough S-7, use the given information to find a formula for the exponential function N=N(t). The initial value of N is 12. If t is increased by 7, the effect is to multiply N by 62.arrow_forward
