Bacteria is known to grow exponentially. The function B(h)=82(1.25)h represents the number of bacteria, B(h) , as a function of hours, h. How many bacteria will there be after only 512 hours to the nearest bacteria? What is B(512) ?(1 point) Responses 279 279 257 257 564 564 280
To find the number of bacteria after 512 hours, we need to evaluate the function B(h) at h=512.
B(512) = 82(1.25)^512
Using a calculator, we find that B(512) is approximately 279.
