draw the best line connecting the plotted points. The straight-line portion of the curve represents the log phase. Calculate the generation time for this culture by the direct method (using the mathematical formula) and by the indirect method (extrapolating from the A scale on the plotted curve). Show calculations, and record the genera- tion time Direct method: Indirect method:

Enter the data from Table 4.33 into a graphing calculator and graph the resulting scatter plot. Determine whether the data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline x & {1} & {2} & {3} & {4} & {5} & {6} & {7} & {8} & {9} & {10} \\ \hline f(x) & {3} & {8.55} & {11.79} & {14.09} & {17.88} & {17.33} & {18.57} & {19.64} & {20.58} & {21.42} \\ \hline\end{array}$$
