The best function type that models the growth of a fast-growing bacteria strain, where the population size doubles every 8 hours, is an exponential function. This is because exponential functions are characterized by constant relative growth rates, which is exactly what is happening in this scenario with the population doubling.
Jakeira is a research biologist who is studying a fast-growing bacteria strain of which the population size can double every 8 hours. To predict the colony size over the next week, she creates an equation that relates time in hours to the population size. Which function type best models this scenario?(1 point) Responses an exponential function an exponential function a periodic function a periodic function a linear function a linear function a quadratic function
