A function models the growth of a sample starting with 40 bacteria with the ability to double every two hours. Which graph models the function?

The function is y = 40 * 2^(x/2)

The graph is in the image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models this growth is an exponencial function, that can be described with the following equation:

y = a * b^(x/n)

Where a is the inicial value, b is the rate of growth, x is the time and n is the relation between the time and the rate (the rate occurs for every two hours, so n = 2).

Then, using a = 40, r = 2 and n = 2, we have:

y = 40 * 2^(x/2)

If we plot this function, we have the graph shown in the image attached,

It is an exponencial graph, where the value of y increases very fast in relation to the increase of x.

what grade level is this? need to know so i can look in my old textbooks!

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
