87. a scientist is studying the growth of a population of bacteria. at the beginning of her study, she has 800 bacteria. she notices that the population is quadrupling every hour.
a. what quantities, including units, need to be identified to further investigate the growth of this bacteria population?

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

A scientist is studying the growth of a population of bacteria. At the beginning of her study, she has 800 bacteria. She notices that the population is quadrupling every hour.

We need to know the initial population P__0, in either units of single bacteria or hundreds of bacteria, the time t, in hours , the current population P(t) at a time t, in the same units as initial population P_o.
