A scientist counts 35 bacteria present in a culture and finds that the number of bacteria triples each hour. The function y = 35 • 3^x models the number of bacteria after x hours.

Graph the function. (You do not need to submit the graph).

Use the graph to estimate when there will be about 550 bacteria in the culture.
