A scientist studied the population growth of a certain type of bacteria. He concluded that if you start with 2 bacteria, then the population, P, would triple with each passing day, x. Which of these equations represents the population growth of this bacteria?
A. P = 2 · 3 x
B. P = 2 · x 3
C. P = 3 · x 2
D. P = 3 · 2 x
A. P = 2 · 3 x if this is actually 2 * 3x
B. P = 2 · x 3
C. P = 3 · x 2
D. P = 3 · 2 x
