In a lab experiment, 2400 bacteria are placed in a petri dish. The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 19 hours. How long would it be, to
the nearest tenth of an hour, until there are 3300 bacteria present?

It takes 8.7 hours for there to be 3300 bacteria present.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for population growth:

The exponential equation for population growth is given by:

In which P(0) is the initial population and r is the growth rate.

2400 bacteria are placed in a petri dish.

This means that

So

The conditions are such that the number of bacteria is able to double every 19 hours.

This means that . We use this to find 1 + r.

So

How long would it be, to the nearest tenth of an hour, until there are 3300 bacteria present?

This is t for which . So

It takes 8.7 hours for there to be 3300 bacteria present.

answer: 80,000

step-by-step explanation:

the population doubles every day.

10,000*2=20,000 day 4

20,000*2=40,000 day 5

40,000*2=80,000 day 6

7.25

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 7 equals to 7.0. we also know that 1/4=0.25. so we can add the two together and we get 7.25
