Question 1034815
The formula for the growth rate is FA(final amount)=IA(initial amount)*(1+r(growth rate))^t. So:
a)6.5=5*(1+r)^6
1.3=(1+r)^6
1.3^.166666667=1+r
1+r=1.0446975079232772081587297735437
r=.0446975079232772081587297735437 as the growth rate of the bacteria. So:
M(1)=M(0)(1.044697508)^t
b)M=5*(1.044697508)^10
M=5*1.5484799527553624553339254907836=7.742399763776812276669627453918 gms. ☺☺☺☺
