Linear and exponential growth - Bacteria Growth
A researcher places two colonies of bacteria into two petri dishes that
each have area 10 square centimeters. After the initial placement of the
bacteria (t = 0), the researcher measures and records the area covered by

fit by a smooth curve, as shown above, where each curve represents the
area of a dish covered by bacteria as a function of time, in hours. Which
of the following is a correct statement about the data above?
