Question

If y = 8(2. 4)* represents the number of bacteria in a culture at time t, how
many will there be at time t =9 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

21134 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parametrs can be interpreted as:

$y = 8(2.4)^t$

Required

Find y when t = 9

Substitute $t = 9$

So:

$y = 8(2.4)^9$

$y = 8 * 2.4^9$

$y = 8 * 2641.81$

$y = 21134.48$

$y = 21134$ --- approximated

Hence, there are 21134 bacteria
