WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST A bacteria grows exponentially so that it doubles every 12 days. There are 500 bacteria initially. Write a function that models the number of bacteria after t days.

Note is is NOT doubling every day! Careful.

Find the number of bacteria after 60 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

if there are 12 days and 500 bateria

60 days will be 12/60 times 500

that is 2500

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
