A bacteria culture starts with one bacteria. The population doubles every hour. Write an equation that models the population growth. How many bacteria will there be by the end of one day

Answer 1

The equation would be y=2^t

and the number of bacteria at the end of one day = 2²⁴ = 1.67 × 10⁷

Note: The general solution for this kind of problem is: y = Cr^t

where C = Initial no.

r= the rate at which it doubles

t = time
