Question 1209240: A biologist is researching a newly discovered species of bacteria. At time T equals zero hours, he put 100 bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. Six hours later, he measures 450 bacteria. Assuming exponential growth, what is the growth constant K for the bacteria? (Round K2 decimal places) By what hour to the nearest 10 will there be 1000 bacteria?
