Jamie is tracking the growth of a specific bacteria for a science experiment. She assumes that there are bacteria (B) in a Petri dish at 12:00 midnight. Jamie observes that the number of bacteria increases by 25 every hour.
Part A. Write an equation that describes the relationship between total number of bacteria (T) and time (h) in hours, assuming there are (B) bacteria in the Petri dish at h= 0.
Part B: If Jamie starts with 5 bacteria in the Petri dish, how many bacteria will be
present after 6 hours?
Part C: If Jamie starts with 5 bacteria in the Petri dish, draw a graph that displays the total number of bacteria with respect to time from 12:00 midnight (h 0) to 8:00 a. m. (h 8). Label each axis and label points on your graph at times h = 0, 1, 2, 3.
