Here you go!, hope it helped. 68-32x
-5 - 12 = -17
Starts at -5 degrees, then it drops another 12, so you subtract 12 from -5.
Answer:
After 16 hours bacterial count will be 11600.
Step-by-step explanation:
Bacterial growth is always an exponential growth in a given culture.So the formula for the growth will be
Final counts of bacteria = Initial counts × 
Given from first part Initial counts = 5000
Final counts= 6500 and time of growth = 5 hours
Then we will get the value of rate of growth of bacteria from the bacteria
⇒ 6500 = 5000×

![Rate = \sqrt[5]{1.3} = 1.05](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B1.3%7D%20%3D%201.05)
Now again to get the value of bacteria after 16 hours
Final Count = 5000×
= 5000×2.32
= 11600
