Answer:

A bacteria culture initially contains 2500 bacteria and doubles every half hour. The formula for the population is p(t)=2500e^(kt) for some constant k. Find the size of the bacterial population after 100 minutes. Find the size of the bacterial population after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1. 10000 bacteria

2. 640000 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

2500 bacteria: 30 minutes

x bacteria: 60 minutes

The bacteria gets doubled twice

2500*2*2=10000

x bacteria:240 minutes

The bacteria gets doubles 8 times

2500*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2= 640000
