Answer:
The initial population was 2810
The bacterial population after 5 hours will be 92335548
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacterial population growth formula is:

where P is the population after time t,
is the starting population, i.e. when t = 0, r is the rate of growth in % and t is time in hours
Data: The doubling period of a bacterial population is 20 minutes (1/3 hour). Replacing this information in the formula we get:





Data: At time t = 100 minutes (5/3 hours), the bacterial population was 90000. Replacing this information in the formula we get:



Data: the initial population got above and t = 5 hours. Replacing this information in the formula we get:


I’m learning this in class as well
Ok so basically you just need to find 2 random points so like (30,100) and (20,30)
And my question for you is do you know the equation format?
Answer:
Im sure that the answer is c
It should be y=2x-3 since it’s touching -3 on the y axis and the it’s going 2 units up and 1 to the right, making the slope = 2.
