A scientist is observing a particular species of bacteria growing in a petri dish. The number of bacteria can be represented by the equation n(t)=50(1.2)^t

Question

A scientist is observing a particular species of bacteria growing in a petri dish. The number of bacteria can be represented by the equation n(t)=50(1.2)^t

, where n is the number of bacteria after t hours. If the scientist checks the population in 4 hours, what would be an appropriate domain for the problem? (1 point)
Responses

0≤t≤4
0≤t≤4

0≤n≤104
0≤n≤104

0≤n≤4
0≤n≤4

0≤t≤104

Answer 1

The appropriate domain for the problem is 0≤t≤4. This is because the scientist wants to observe the population after 4 hours, so the time variable (t) should be within the range of 0 to 4.
