Question 1054862
The second question depends on quantity of damage and what kind, that this bacteria makes, so since the growth rate is (seems so ) high, you might have about two days at the very most, and that could be far too long to wait.  Some lab testing maybe, from a microbiological lab, to identify or confirm the bacteria identity?


x is days
y is amount bacteria
{{{y=8700*(1.35)^x}}}
-
Let x=24 for the first question.
{{{y=8700(1.35)^24}}}
{{{highlight(y=11700000)}}}
