A scientist is studying a form of bacteria that doubles every hour. if the petri dish starts with 2 grams of bacteria

A - y=2x+2

B - y=2x^2

C - y=2x

D - y=2•2^x

b = 2x²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bacteria = x

Every hour, the number of bacteria doubles itself, = x * x = x²

But the bacteria started with 2g,

The number of bacteria present is equal to

2 * x² = 2x².

At every hour, the growth of the bacteria is at 2x²

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

50-38=12
