A laboratory culture contains 150 bacteria. After twenty minutes, the culture contains 300 bacteria. After one hour, the culture contains 1200 bacteria. Make a conjecture about the rate at which the bacteria increases

Respuesta :

the answer is C..!! 
see.. at t=0 the culture had 150 bacteria.. 
at t=20 the culture had 300 bacteria. 
at t=60 the culture had 1200. 
so if u go by the second option... at t=40 the bacteria would be 600..!! and it makes sense because it fits the sequence...!! 
i am just telling you the logic..!! if u have to formally solve it.. use the concept of sequences and series... :)
