A scientist finds that an intial bacteria count was 42 million and 4 hours later, the count was up to 70 million. Write an exponential equation of the form y=ab^(x) for this scenario. Round b to four decimal places. y= A scientist finds that an intial bacteria count was 42 million and 4 hours later, the count was up to 7o million. Write an exponential eguation of the form y = ab" for this scenario. Round b to four decimal places. y=
