Aculture started with 1,500 bacteria. after 5 hours it grew to 2,300 bacteria. how many bacteria with be present after 12 hours? plsss

4185

Step-by-step explanation:

A culture of bacteria grows exponentially according to the following general exponential growth function;

where;

p(t) is the population at any given time t.

p(0) is the initial population

k is the growth constant

From the information given we have;

p(0) = 1500

at t = 5, p(t) = 2300; p(5) = 2300

We shall use this information to determine the value of k;

Divide both sides by 1500;

Therefore, the population of the bacteria at any time t is given by;

x = 3 ± √(5+y)

the battle of gettysburg is considered the "high water mark" of the confederacy because it marked the greatest advance of the confederate forces against the union.
