40 points Dr. Silas studies a culture of bacteria under a microscope. The function b_1 (t)=500〖(1.6)〗^t represents the number of bacteria t hours after Dr. Silas begins her study.

(a) Is this an exponential growth or decay? Explain how you know.

(b) What does the value 500 represent in this situation?

(c) The number of bacteria in a second study is modeled by the function .
What is the growth rate, r, for this equation?
What does the difference of 500 and 800 mean between the two studies?

step-by-step explanation:

$97520

step-by-step explanation:

add 6% to the value she got from selling the house.

she would want to sell 10 full-year subscriptions and at least 9 half-year subscriptions to get a total of at least $300. 

i hope this answer you! if you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask! : )

step-by-step explanation:

mark brainliest!

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
