A scientist is observing a particular species of bacteria growing in a petri dish. The number of bacteria can be represented by the equation n(t)=50(1.2)^t

Question

, where n is the number of bacteria after t hours. If the scientist checks the population in 4 hours, what would be an appropriate domain for the problem?(1 point)
Responses

0≤t≤104
0≤t≤104

0≤t≤4
0≤t≤4

0≤n≤4
0≤n≤4

0≤n≤104

Answer 1

The appropriate domain for the problem, given that the scientist is observing the bacteria population over a period of time (t in hours), would be:

0 ≤ t ≤ 4

This domain indicates that the time (t) starts at 0 hours and goes up to 4 hours, which is the timeframe the scientist is interested in for observing the bacteria growth.
