The Number of bacteria in a culture was 1000 initially and tripled every 6 hours. Let t be time in hours since the start of the experiment and B(t) is the number of bacteria in the culture at time t.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How long until there are 5000 bacteria?
\n" ); document.write( "

Growth rate: .183102
\n" );
document.write( "Function: 
\n" );
document.write( " -------- Substituting 5,000 for B(t); 1,000 for , and 0.183102 for r 
\n" );
document.write( "Time it takes to accumulate 5,000 bacteria:  hours \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
