Question

The population of bacteria in an experiment

increases by 90% each day. If there were 100
bacteria at the beginning, how many would
there be after 5 days?
Future Amount = [?] microorganisms

Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The number of bacteria's increases in 5 days will be 1790.

Explanation:

The bacterium population is rising day by day, and the function that depicts this growth is Future amount = 100(1+0.9)⁴'⁵.

Now the bacterial growth will be:-

• Future amount = 100 ( 1 + 0.9 )⁴'⁵.
• Future amount = 100 ( 1.9 ) ⁴'⁵.
• Future amount = 1790
