Bacteria X has a growth rate of 190 % per hour. Some amount of
bacteria X are accidentally introduced into some twirly macaroni
salad. Three hours after contamination, there were 50,000 bacteria
X in the twirly macaroni salad.
Find the initial number of bacteria X introduced into the twirly
macaroni salad:

The growth rate at t = 0 hours is bacteria per hour. When a bactericide is added to a nutrient broth in which bacteria are growing, the bacterium population continues to grow for a while, but then stops growing and begins to decline. The size of the population at time t (hours) is b = 65 +63t - 6242. Find the growth rates at t = 0 hours, t = 3 hours, and t = 6 hours. The growth rate...
This exercise uses the population growth model. A culture starts with 8100 bacteria. After 1 hour the count is 10,000. (a) Find a function that models the number of bacteria n(t) after t hours.

(Round your answer to the nearest hundred.) bacteria (C) After how many hours will the number of bacteria double? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) hr
A biologist places 4 thousand bacteria in a nutrient rich solution and monitors the rate of growth of the bacteria every 15 minutes. Use the table to find the best possible overestimate for the total amount of change in bacteria from 1 hour to 2 hours. Make sure to include units. I.

This exercise uses the population growth model. The count in a culture of bacteria was 400 after 2 hours and 25,600 after 6 hours. (a) What is the relative rate of growth of the bacteria population? Express your answer as a percentage. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 104 % (b) What was the initial size of the culture? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 200 x bacteria (c) Find a function that models the number...
