Question

Unrestrained growth of cells in a petri dish can be extremely rapid, with a single cell growing into a number of cells, N, given by the formula, N(t) = 8t, after t hours.
Enter the formula for the number of cells in the petri dish when a culture is started with 30 isolated cells.

The new formula is N(t) = .

How many cells do you expect after 3 hours?

You should expect ___
cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

New Formula is $N(t) = 30t$

You should expect 90 cells

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️The new formula that would represent the number of cells when 30 isolated cells are used to start a culture would be:

$N(t) = 30t$

✔️Number of cells, N(t), to expect after 3 hours, t:

Substitute t = 3 into $N(t) = 30t$

Thus:

$N(30) = 30*3$

$N(30) = 90$

You should expect 90 cells
