Question

A scientist has discovered a new strain of bacteria. The bacteria culture initially contained 1000 bacteria and the bacteria are doubling every hour. Write an exponential growth to describe the growth of the bacteria.

Answer 1

Answer:

Bacteria Culture = B

Hour = H

B=1000*2^H

Step-by-step explanation:

Every hour, the bacteria doubles. This means that the amount is multiplied by 2 every hour. If it was 5 hours in, the bacteria would be at 32000. You can use the equation B=1000*2^5 to get that answer.
