Question

Estimate the percentage growth rate for a population of bacteria that grew from

100 to 6400 in 1 day.

Answer 1

r = 4.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of initial bacteria = 100

Number of Final bacteria = 6400

Find:

Growth rate

Computation:

6400 = 100 ×
`e^r`

6400 / 100 =
`e^r`

64 =
`e^r`

Taking natural log both side

r = 4.15
