Hi,
A biologist makes a simple of bacteria in a culture
and finds that it doubles every 3 hours.
The estimated count after 6 hours was 10000
a) What was the initial size of the culture at time t=0?
2500 ⇒ 5000 ⇒ 10000 doubling every 3 hour
b) What was the estimated count after 1 day?
x = 2500*2^(24/3) = 640,000
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
