Question

Culture started with 2,000 bacteria. After 3

ours, it grew to 2,600 bacteria. Predict how
any bacteria will be present after 9 hours.
ound your answer to the nearest whole
umber.
P = Aekt

Answer 1

Explanation:

2600 = 2000•e^3k

e^3k = 2600/2000

e^3k = 13/10

3k = ln(13/10)

k ≈ 0.087

P = 2000•e^0.087•9

P = 4376
