Suppose a culture pf bacteria begins with 5000 cells and dies by 30% each year. which equation represents this situation

Sagot :

Answer:

The equation is f(x) = 5,000(0.7)^t

Explanation:

Using the exponential decay formula

  • f(x) = a(1-r)^t

Where:

  • a = initial amount
  • r = rate
  • t = time

Substituting ,

  • f(x) = 5,000(1-0.3)^t
  • f(x) = 5,000(0.7)^t
