Hello Shannonrodrigue. You can solve this by setting up an exponential growth equation.
Now we solve for b
![\sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}} = \sqrt[4]{b^4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bb%5E4%7D)
![\sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}} = b](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%7D%20%3D%20b)
Now that we have found b, we can use the equation
to predict how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours.
![b = \sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=b%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%7D)
t = 10
![A = 3000\sqrt[4]{\frac{6}{5}}^{10} = 4732.3228 = 4732](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%20%3D%203000%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%7D%5E%7B10%7D%20%3D%204732.3228%20%3D%204732%20)
Answer = 4732
Now we solve for b
Now that we have found b, we can use the equation
t = 10
Answer = 4732
