A species of bacteria grows exponentially and doubles in population size every hour. Which of the following is the formula you would use to represent this growth if the original population was 100 bacteria?
A. 100 = ƒ(x)2
B. ƒ(x) = 1002
C. 100 = ƒ(x)100
D. ƒ(x) = 2100
B. ƒ(x) = 100 * 2^x
This formula represents exponential growth, with the population size doubling every hour starting from an initial population of 100 bacteria.
