Let P(t) = population in t hours
P(t) = 4,500,000(1 + 0.03)t
So, P(2) = 4,500,000(1.03)2 = 4,774,050

asked 11/20/19The population of bacteria in a culture is increasing at the rate of 3% per hour. Find the approximate population of bacteria at the end of 2 hours if initially it was 4,50,000
Let P(t) = population in t hours
P(t) = 4,500,000(1 + 0.03)t
So, P(2) = 4,500,000(1.03)2 = 4,774,050
