Question 896427: A culture of cells is growing exponentially. The number of cells at 8 A.M. is 25 and the doubling time is 15 minutes.
(b) When will there be 750 cells present? (Give your answer correct to two decimal places.)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! S=t*(1 - r^n)/(1 - r)
750=25*(1 - 2^n)/(1 - 2)
n is almost 5
n = 4.95
0 0 25
1 15 50
2 30 100
3 45 200
4 60 400
4.95 74.25 750
5 75 800
