Select the correct answer.
A scientist is studying the population growth rates of two different types of bacteria under the same laboratory conditions. The number of bacterial cells
of type A is represented by the equation shown, where Prepresents the number of bacterial cells at the end of x hours.
P = 2 + 19
The number of bacterial cells of type B is represented by the equation shown, where Q represents the number of bacterial cells at the end of x hours.
Q = 3² + 18
Which statement is true?
OA. At the end of 21 hours, there will be the same number of bacterial cells of type A and type B.
OB. At the end of 3 hours, there will be the same number of bacterial cells of type A and type B.
OC. At the end of 1 hour, there will be the same number of bacterial cells of type A and type B.
OD. At the end of 18 hours, there will be the same number of bacterial cells of type A and type B.
