Question 5. Points possible: 5 Unlimited attempts The following graph represents the mass of bacteria (in micrograms) in a petri dish in a laboratory experiment in terms of the number of hours since the experiment began. Assume that the bacteria mass grew exponentially during the experiment. 26 16 (2,13.07) (4,15.53) 12 (0,11) 8 4 2345 6 a. Define a formula for function \(f\) that represents the bacteria's mass (in micrograms) in terms of the number of hours \(t\) since the experiment began. If necessary, round your growth factor to two decimal places. Preview b. The experiment was run a second time with a different set of nutrients for the bacteria. In the second experiment, the bacteria's mass (in micrograms) in terms of the number of hours since the experiment began could be modeled by \(g(t) = 13(1.09)^t\). Which of the following describes how the results of the second experiment compared to the results of the first experiment? Select all that apply. The initial mass of the bacteria was smaller in the second experiment than in the first experiment. The mass of bacteria increased by more each hour in the second experiment compared to the first experiment. The initial mass of the bacteria was larger in the second experiment than in the first experiment. The initial mass of the bacteria was the same in both experiments. The mass of bacteria increased by less each hour in the second experiment compared to the first experiment. The 1-hour growth factor was roughly the same in both experiments. Submit
