QuestionAt 10:00 a.m. (t=0), bacteria grow as follows: 30, 90, 270, 810. Find a function $f(t)$ to model this growth.

Studdy Solution
In this case, the initial value $a$ is the number of bacteria at $t=0$, which is30. The common ratio $r$ is3, as the number of bacteria triples every minute. So, we can write the function as$$f(t) =30 \cdot3^t$$This function models the number of bacteria at time $t$.
