Initially, 80 bacteria are placed in a Petri dish. It is observed that the bacteria triple in population every 5 hours.
How can this information be interpreted?
Select True or False for each statement.
The scenario can be modeled by the function f(x)=80(3)x5, where f(x) represents the population of bacteria x hours after the bacteria are placed in the Petri dish.
After 13 hours, there are approximately 1592 bacteria.
