The number of bacteria in a culture is given in = 6000b ^ t where t is time in hours since the first observation. if the culture is growing by 6% each hour, what is the value of b?

Question

F)6

G)1.06

H)1.6

J)0.06

Answer 1

n = 6000b^t t = hours, growth rate in 1 hour = 6%

t = 0, n = 6000

t=2 n = 6036 = 6000(1.06)= 6000b^1

b^1 = 1.06= b

G) is correct
