Question 756438: Suppose at time t=0, the number of bacteria present is 2500. If t minutes later the number of bacteria is given by N(t)=2500(2.4)^(t/12)
Then, to the nearest integer, the number of bacteria present after an hour will be
299,000
196,550
197,366
229,443
199,066
Please explain this to me, thank you.
Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your formula: N(t) = 2500* (2.4)^(t/12)
In an hour (60 mins) the formula will become:-
N(t) = 2500* (2.4)^(60/12)
N(t) = 2500* (2.4)^(5)
N(t) = 199066 bacteria
Hope this helps.
