Scientist are studying a bacteria sample. The function f(x)=245(1.12)^x gives the number of bacteria in the sample at the end of x days. Which statement is the best interpretation of one of the values of the function?

The best interpretation of one of the values of the function is that the rate  increases by 12% each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

F(x)=245(1.12)^x

To Find:

statement is the best interpretation of one of the values of the function

Solution:

Depending upon the values given the statement can be developed

As the function is itself the exponential growth structure ,

In this the statement ,Growth can be significantly depends on all factor

Such as time period initial value and rate.

But here the formula is simplified as ,

Here A= initial value r=rate and t =time period

Here A=245 and 1+r=1.12

i.e r=0.12 i.e 12%

Hence the rate give the best interpretation and more information about the function and scenario.
