3. A student monitored the number of bacteria in a culture at the end of each hour. The data suggest a consistent multiplicative pattern. If the trend continues, what would be the predicted bacteria count at Hour 5?
Caption (49 words): Counts were taken from the same culture under constant conditions. The number of bacteria increases by the same factor each hour, indicating exponential growth over the measured period. The next value can be predicted by applying the same ratio observed between consecutive hours.
4. A student measured the brightness of a lamp at different distances. If the trend shown continues, what brightness would most likely be recorded at 50 cm?
Caption (64 words): Brightness was measured in arbitrary units with the same sensor while moving it away from the lamp in 10 cm steps. The values decrease by a constant amount for each 10 cm increase in distance in this dataset. Although real light often follows a different physical law, this question asks you to extend the pattern shown by the measurements.

25. A chemist measured the pH of a solution after adding equal drops of an acidic reagent. Based on the trend, what would the pH most likely be after 5 drops?
Caption (47 words): pH was recorded after each drop was mixed thoroughly. Over these trials, pH decreases by approximately the same amount per drop, indicating a nearly linear trend in this range. The next pH value can be estimated by extending the observed step change.
26. A computer science club tracked the time it took to run a program as the input size increased by equal steps. Based on the pattern in the data, what runtime would most likely occur at an input size of 600?
Caption (61 words): Runtime was measured in seconds for increasing input sizes, with the same computer and program each time. The runtime increases by a constant 0.4 seconds for each additional 100 units of input, indicating a linear trend over this range. Extending the pattern to the next input size provides a reasonable predicted runtime.
