Find C and a so that f(x)equalsCa Superscript x models the situation described. State what the variable x represents in your formula. There are initially 3000 bacteria, and this sample doubles in size every hour.

x represents the time period.

C= 3000 and a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is which is an exponential equation. (i)

The general form of the exponential equation is :

  (ii)

, where A = initial value and b= multiplicative factor, and x is the time.

As compare both of the equation in (i) and (ii) , we get

A= C , and b= a

Since there are initially 3000 bacteria, and this sample doubles in size every hour.

i.e. C= 3000 (Initial)  and a= 2 (multiplicative factor).

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

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

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
