Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay A biologist recorded a count of 360 bacteria present in a culture after 7 minutes and 1200 bacteria present after 20 minutes. a. To the nearest whole number, what was the initial population in the culture? The initial population was around bacteria. b. Rounding to four decimal places, write an exponential equation representing this situation. B(t) = c. To the nearest minute, how long did it take the population to double? The doubling time of...
Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay A research student is working with a culture of bacteria that doubles in size every 26 minutes. The initial population count was 1425 bacteria. a. Rounding to four decimal places, write an exponential equation representing this situation. B(t) = (Let t be time measured in minutes.) b. Rounding to the nearest whole number, use B(t) to determine the population size after 5 hours. The population is about bacteria after 5 hours. (Recall that t is...
