A culture started with 6,000 bacteria. After 4 hours, it grew to 6,600 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours. round your answer to the nearest whole number.

First find the rate of growth

The formula is

P=Ae^rt

P 6600

A 6000

R?

T 4 hours

E constant

Solve the formula for r

R=[log (p/A) : log (e) ]:t

R = (log (6,600:6,000) : log (e)) : 4

R=0.024

Now find how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours

p=6,000*e^ (0.024*10)

p=7,627 ... answer
