Answer:
1. 10000 bacteria
2. 640000 bacteria
Explanation:
2500 bacteria: 30 minutes
x bacteria: 60 minutes
The bacteria gets doubled twice
2500*2*2=10000
x bacteria:240 minutes
The bacteria gets doubles 8 times
2500*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2= 640000
A bacteria culture initially contains 2500 bacteria and doubles every half hour. The formula for the population is p(t)=2500e^(kt) for some constant k. Find the size of the bacterial population after 100 minutes. Find the size of the bacterial population after 4 hours.
