Bacteria in a pond multiplies as shown in the table. If a fungus on a tree decays at half that rate, what is the rate of decay (round to the nearest integer)?thanks!
Accepted Solution
A:
Using the formula, y=a(1=r)^x to solve for the growth rate and you find that the growth rate for the bacteria is 50%. Once this information is found, you can determine that a fungus decay at half that rate will be 25%.
