At 7a.m., a colony of 100 bacteria is placed on a petri dish where the population will triple every 6 hours.
Select ALL statements that are true.
When the bacteria population reaches 900, 12 hours have passed since the colony was placed on the petri dish.
Three hours after the colony is placed on the petri dish, there are about 173 bacteria in the colony.
In the first hour the colony is placed on the petri dish, the population grows by a factor of 31/6
Between 8a.m. and 9 a.m., the population grows by a factor of 32/3

A medication has a half-life of 4 hours after it enters the bloodstream. A nurse administers a dose of 225 milligrams to a patient at noon.
Which equation represents the amount of medication left after h hours?
f(h) = 225⋅(0.5)4h
f(h) = 225⋅(−0.5)h
f(h) = 225⋅(4 21)h
f(h) = 225⋅(40.5)h
f(h) = 225⋅0.54h
At the beginning of the year a blogger had 200 subscribers. Since then, the number of subscribers has been doubling every 8 weeks.
Select ALL equations that represent the number of subscribers, S, in terms of w weeks since the beginning.
S = 200⋅w2
S = 200⋅28w
S = 200 ⋅(82)w
S = 200⋅82w
S = 200⋅8w
The function represents a population increasing exponentially in y years.
Which function correctly shows the population in m months?
p(m) = 40(1.07)12m
p(m) =40(1.07)12m
p(m) =40(121.07)m
The function represents a population decreasing exponentially in w weeks.
Which function correctly shows the population in d days?
f(d) =78(0.92)7d
f(d) = 78(0.92)7d
f(d) = 78(70.92)d
The table shows the amount of caffeine in a person's system decreasing exponentially. Write an equation for m(h), where m is the amount of caffeine and h is the time in hours.
m(h) = 200(0.78)2h
m(h) = 200(0.78)h
m(h) = 200(0.78)24h
The graph shows a function decreasing exponentially. Write an equation for the function.
f(x) = 220⋅70.83
f(x) = 220⋅20.83
f(x) = 220⋅(0.83)x
The table shows a population increasing exponentially. Write an equation for p(y).
p(y) = 40(1.08)2.5y
p(y) = 40(1.08)y
p(y) = 40(1.08)2y
