The population of a type of bacteria triples every minute. The chart below represents the population of bacteria after t minutes. Which type of function represents the data?
- A Linear
- B Quadratic
- C Exponential
- D Absolute value
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The given information states that the population of bacteria triples every minute. This indicates exponential growth, as the population is increasing at an exponential rate. Exponential functions have a constant ratio of change, and in this case, the population is tripling every minute, which is a consistent rate of growth. Therefore, the correct answer is exponential.
