Mathematics: Scientists are studying a bacteria sample. The functionf(x)=245(1.12)* gives the number of bacteria in the sample atthe end of x days.Which statement is the best interpretation of one of the values inthis function?• The initial number of bacteria is 12.The number of bacteria at the end of one day is 245.The initial number of bacteria decreases at a rate of88% each day.The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 12% eachday.

The number of bacteria increases at a rate of 12% each

day.

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is an exponential growth/decay function of the form:

$y=ab^x, \ \ \ b=(1+r)$

Where

b is the growth factorr is the growth ratey is the size at time xx is time a is the initial size

-Given that b>1, this is a growth function and the population increases by 12% for each unit time elapsed.

-Hence, the correct statement is the number of bacteria increases at a rate of 12% each day.
