I know you have to use log formula p×(1+r/n)^my but don't know where to go from there Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A certain bacteria population is known to double every 90 minutes
. Suppose that there are initially 100 bacteria.
What is the size of the population after t hours?
:
Change 90 min to 1.5 hrs
:
A = Ao*2^(t/1.5), where
A = Amt after t hrs
Ao = initial amt (t=0)
t = time in hrs
