The growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria can be modeled by the function N(t) = ae0.166t , where N is the number of cells after t hours and a is the number of cells when t = 0. (a) At 1:00PM, there are 42 M. tuberculosis bacteria in a sample. Write a function that gives the number of bacteria after 1:00PM.

(b) What is the rate of growth in this model?

(c) Calculate the number of cells in the sample at 3:45PM Thank you!! :))

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
