Question

A culture of bacteria begins with 416 bacteria, and every 4 days 33 % of the bacteria dies off. Let b be the 1-day growth factor. What is the 4-day growth factor as a numeric value? 1.33

What is the 4-day growth factor in terms of b ? 1.073897695^4

Use your results from part (a) to find b , the 1-day growth factor. b= 1.073897695

Find the 1-week growth factor.

Find the 12-hour growth factor. Preview

Answer 1

The bacteria are dying so the number is decreasing over time  

 

Every 4 days 33% die  ==>  67% remain  

 

The 4-day growth factor is  0.67
