Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bacteria created in the first hour be represented by a

a = 12 million

The number of new bacteria that were created every hour is 10% more than the previous hour

Therefore, the common ratio r is calculated as:


\begin{gathered} r\text{ = 1 + 10\%} \\ r\text{ = 1 + 0.1} \\ r\text{ = 1.1} \end{gathered}

The number of bacteria created in a particular hour will be:


T(h)=ar^(h-1)

The number of bacteria created in the 6th hour will be:


undefined
