Population of bacteria

According to the question, the population of bacteria is modeled by the function; [tex]M(x)=51(1.03)^x[/tex]. We have to recall that x refers to the time taken to have an M number of bacteria.

Initially, x = 0 so;

[tex]M(x)=51(1.03)^0[/tex] = 51

After 3 minutes, we have;

[tex]M(x)=51(1.03)^3[/tex] = 56

Difference between the populations after 3 minutes = 56 - 51 = 5

Hence, the difference between the populations after 3 minutes  is 5.
