Question

James did an experiment. He started out with 640 bacteria cells. He found that the growth rate of the bacteria cells was 5.3%. Sketch the graph that represents the situation. Label the y-intercept and the point that represents the projected bacteria population 25 h from the time James started the experiment. (10 pts)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 2327.49 ---> 25 hrs

starting plot points (0,640) and ending (25, 2327.49)

Step-by-step explanation:

b = 640

r = 5.3% = 0.053

t = 25

y = 640 ( 1 + 0.053)^25

y = 640 ( 1.053)^25

y = 2327.49 ---> 25 hrs

starting plot points (0,640) and ending (25, 2327.49)
