A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has increased to 420. Find the rate of growth after 3 hours.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of growth equals 420/100 = 4.2 times per hour

So after t=three hours,

size of culture = 100*(4.2)^t = 100*4.2^3=7408.8 bacteria,

round to nearest unit 7409 bacteria after three hours (after initial size of 100).
