.A bacteria culture grows at a rate of 20%
per minute. If the culture initially has 3,200
bacteria specimens, how many specimens
would be in the culture after 5 minutes?

Sagot :

The number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be 7,962.62.

What is an exponent?

Consider the function:

y = a (1 + r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth occurs.

A bacteria culture grows at a rate of 20% per minute.

If the culture initially has 3,200 bacteria specimens.

Then the equation will be

y = 3200 (1 + 0.2) ˣ

y = 3200 (1.20) ˣ

Then the number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be

y = 3200 (1.20)⁵

y = 7962.62
