From the calculation, the growth rate is 0.88.
<h3>What is the growth rate?</h3>
To find the relative growth rate
P1 = Poe^rt
P2 = Poe^rt
Thus;
1920 = Poe^4r ------ (1)
1966080 =Poe^12r -------(2)
P2/P1 gives;
1966080/1920 = Poe^12r/Poe^4r
1024 = e^12r/e^4r
1024 =e^8r
1024 = (e^r)^8
2^10 = (e^r)^8
e^r = 2^1.25
e^r = 2.38
r = ln(2.38)
r = 0.88
The initial size of the culture is;
1920 = Poe^(0.88 * 4)
Po = 1920/e^(0.88 * 4)
Po = 57
The expression for the exact number of bacteria after t hours is
P(t) = 57e^0.08t
The growth (in bacteria per hour) after 9.5 hours is
P(t) = 57e^(0.88 * 9.5)
P(t) = 243544
For the number to reach 72,000;
72,000 = 57e^0.88t
72,000/57 = e^0.88t
ln 126 = ln[e^0.88t]
4.8 = 0.88t
t = 4.8/0.88
t = 5.5 hours

</h2>
Explanation:
An equality can be transformed in a system of equations by making each side equal to a new variable. In this case the variable y was made equal to each side.
See that may find the solution of such system by graphing both functions in a same coordinate system, where the intersection of the functions would show the solution of the system.
I show you that in the attached image. In such graph, the red curve is the function y = x² and the blue function is y = x³ + 2x.
The intersection point is (0,0) meaning that the solution is x = 0, y = 0.
