<PRE><B>Question 82474</B>
A bacteria culture started with a count of 720 at 8:00 A.M., and after (t) hours is expected to grow to f(t)= 720{3/2}^t.  Estimate the number of bacteria in the culture at 11:00 A.M. the same day.
-----------
f(t) = 720(3/2)^t
From 8 to 11 is three hours.
f(3) = 720(3/2)^3
f(3) = 2430 bacteria
