Answer:
After 5 hours.
35 bacteria cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
Andy’s population is represented by [tex]B=6x+5.[/tex]
Samantha’s population is represented by [tex]B=2^x+3[/tex]
Where B represents the total population given the number of hours x.
We want to find at what hour will their population be the same. We are told to use graphing technology.
Graphing them, we will get the graphs below.
Graphically, their population will be the same where the two graphs intersect.
So, we can see that they intersect at (5, 35).
Therefore, after 5 hours, the total number of bacteria cells for both experiments will be the same.
And the total number of bacteria at that time will be 35 bacteria cell.
