The formula for the number of bacteria at time t is 1000 x (2^t).
The number of bacteria after one hour is 2828
The number of minutes for there to be 50,000 bacteria is 324 minutes.
<h3>What is the number of bacteria after 1 hour?
</h3>
The exponential function that can be used to determine the number of bacteria with the passage of time is:
initial population x (rate of increase)^t
1000 x (2^t).
Population after 1 hour : 1000 x 2^(60/40) = 2828
Time when there would be 50,000 bacteria : In(FV / PV) / r
Where:
- FV = future bacteria population = 50,000
- PV = present bacteria population = 1000
- r = rate of increase = 100%
In (50,000 / 1000)
In 50 / 1 = 3.91 hours x 60 = 324 minutes
