Question

If there are initially 4500 bacteria in a culture, and the number of bacteria double each hour, the number of bacteria after t hours can be found using the formula below. How many bacteria will be present after 6 hours?
N=4599(2)^t

Answer 1

Using the equation N=4,599(2)^t and the number 6 as t, we get N=4,599(2)^6.

(2)^6 = 64

4,599 x 64 = 294,336

Answer:

294,336
