Question

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The population of bacteria in an experiment is increasing by 90% each dayIf there were 100 bacteria at the beginning of the experiment predict the number of bacteria in 5 days?

Answer 1

Answer: In five days, there will be around 2,476 bacteria.

Explanation: Using the hint given, simply plug in the numbers to calculate the predicted amount of bacteria. Hope this helps!

`100(1+0.9)^(5)=2,476.099`

Answer 2

2476

Explanation:

Given formula:

`\textsf{Future Amount}=\sf I(1+r)^t`

Given values:

• Initial amount (I) = 100 bacteria
• Growth rate (r) = 90% = 0.9
• Time periods (t) = 5 days

Substitute the given values into the given formula and solve:

`\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Future Amount}& =\sf 100(1+0.9)^5\\& =\sf 100(1.9)^5\\& =\sf 100(24.76099)\\& =\sf 2476.099\\& =\sf 2476\;(nearest\;whole\;number)\end{aligned}`
