Alexus is modeling the growth of bacteria for an experiment in science. She assumes that there are B bacteria in a Petri dish at 12:00 noon. In reality, each bacterium in the Petri dish subdivides into two new bacteria approximately every 20 minutes. However, for the purposes of the model, Alexus assumes that each bacterium subdivides into two new bacteria exactly every 20 minutes. 2a. Create a table that shows the total number of bacteria in the Petri dish at 1/3 hour intervals for 2 hours starting with time 0 to represent 12:00 noon.

2b. Write an equation that describes the relationship between total number of bacteria T and time h in hours, assuming there are B bacteria in the Petri dish at h=0.

2c. If Alexus starts with 100 bacteria in the Petri dish, draw a graph that displays the total number of bacteria with respect to time from 12:00 noon (h=0) to 4:00 p. m. (h=4). Label points on your graph at time h=0,1,2,3,4.

2d. For her experiment, Alexus plans to add an anti-bacterial chemical to the Petri dish at 4:00 p. m. that is supposed to kill 99.9% of the bacteria instantaneously. If she started with 100 bacteria at 12:00 noon, how many live bacteria might Alexus expect to find in the Petri dish right after she adds the anti-bacterial chemical?
