The correct explicit formula for the sequence of the number of bacterium is:
an = 24n
The table shows the predicted growth of particular bacterium after various numbers of hours. Write an explicit formula for
the sequence of the number of bacterium.
hours 1 2 3 4 5
numbers of bacterium 24 48 72 96 120
an = 24n + 1
an = 24n
an = 1/24n
an = n + 24
