a culture starts with 34 bacteria and it triples every hour write an equation for this data

Question

 I don't know how to write the equation and my teacher is not good at explaining.

Answer 1

P(t) = P₀ (3)^t/T

 

P₀ = initial amount = 34

 

T = tripling period = 1 hour

 

t = number of hours elapsed from when the amount was P₀

 

P(t) = 34 (3)^t/1 = 34 (3)^t,

 

with t in hours.
