Question

Estimate the percentage growth rate for a population of bacteria that grew from
100 to 6400 in 1 day.

Answer 1

Answer:

r = 4.15

Explanation:

Given:

Number of initial bacteria = 100

Number of Final bacteria = 6400

Find:

Growth rate

Computation:

6400 = 100 × $e^r$

6400 / 100 = $e^r$

64 = $e^r$

Taking natural log both side

r = 4.15
