I'm not completely sure how to express what it is about this question
that I don't understand, but any insight beyond what the book provides
would be helpful.
I initially thought to approach this problem as one of exponential
growth simply because it deals with bacteria, but clearly the solution
deals with some other function of 'x'.
First off, I'm not familiar with the standard convention of writing
out function equations. Is there a typical formula or strategy I can
rely on?
The book explains that from the table we get 10.0(f)=x, but I'm
unclear how they derive that and then also how we can simply replace x
with 10.0 if the equation states that it is 10f that equals x, not 10
= x.
Any help would be much appreciated.
