The number of bacteria colonies on a petri dish can be determined by this function. Which statement represents the meaning of the a and b values from the function in terms of the problem situation?

• When the observation began, there were 2 bacteria colonies and the number of bacteria colonies increased by a factor of 3 for every time interval, t.

• When the observation began, there were 3 bacteria colonies and the number of bacteria colonies increased by a factor of 2 for every time interval, t.

• • The final number of bacterial colonies is found by multiplying the 2 original colonies by 3.

• After 3 minutes, there are 2 bacteria colonies.
