Ascientist begins an experiment with a culture of 5 bacteria cells. every hour, the number of bacteria cells triples. which equation can be used to represent the number of bacteria cells, y, as it relates to time in hours, x?

y=5^x
y=3(5)^x
y=3^x
y=5(3)^x

Determine whether the described scatter plot is possible. sketch a graph of the scatter plot if you believe it is possible. give an explanation if it is not possible (a) can a scatter plot show a nonlinear and a positive association? (b) can a scatter plot show a nonlinear and a negative association? (c) can a scatter plot show a linear association but neither a positive nor a negative association!
