PLEASE HELP!! James did an experiment. He started out with 640 bacteria cells. He found that the growth rate of the bacteria
cells was 5.3%. Sketch the graph that represents the situation. Label the y-intercept and the point that
represents the projected bacteria population 25 h from the time James started the experiment.

y=2327.49 ---> 25 hrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

b = 640

r = 5.3% = 0.053

t = 25

y = 640 ( 1 + 0.053)^25

y = 640 ( 1.053)^25

y = 2327.49 ---> 25 hrs

starting plot points (0,640) and ending (25, 2327)

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,

it is part of the rising action that reveals public sentiment toward hester.
