Question

A culture started with 4,000 bacteria. After 8 hours, it grew to 4,800 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 13 hours. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

p= Ae^k(t)
Note: when solving for k, round to four decimal places.

Answer 1

4,450. 50 bateria is added every hour

Answer 2

Answer:5,378

Explanation:

At 0 hours: t=0 and A= 4,000

At 8 hours:t=8 and p = 4,800

So basically you just do

P= 4,000 times 1.3445

Which equals p= 5,378

Hope this helps :)
