Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of bacteria when $x=0$, substitute $x=0$ into the given function: $B(0)=6700(2)^{0}=6700(1)=6700$.

The Number of Bacteria Growing in an Incubation Culture Increases B(x)=6700(2)xB(x)=6700(2)^{x}B(x)=6700(2)x

The Number of Bacteria Growing in an Incubation Culture Increases $B(x)=6700(2)^{x}$
