ERROR ANALYSIS The growth rate of a bacterial culture is 150% each hour. Initially, there are 10 bacteria. Describe the error in finding the number of bacteria in the culture after 8 hours.
Х
8(t) = 10(1.5)
(8) = 10(1.5) -- 256.3
After 3 hours, there are about
256 bacteria in the culture.
O The 10 and the 1.5 should be switched in the equation.
The growth rate is 1-1.5, not 1.5.
O The 1.5 should be raised to the power of 7, not 8.
o The growth rate is 1 + 1.5, not 1.5.
Correct the error and find, to the nearest whole number, the number of bacteria in the culture after 8 hours.
The exponential function is b(t) = 0
After 8 hours, there are about
bacteria in the culture.
