Answer:
the size of the bacterial population after 100 minutes is 20,158.7 bacteria
the size of the bacterial population after 10 hours is 2097152000 bacteria
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
The bacteria contains 2000
It would be double at every half hour
We need to find out the size of the bacteria after 100 minutes & 10 hours
So,
The size of the bacteria after 100 minutes is
= 2000 × 2^(100 ÷ 30)
= 2000 × 10.079
= 20,158.7 bacteria
Now the size of the bacteria after 10 hours is
10 hours = 10 × 60 minutes = 600 minutes
= 2000 × 2^(600 ÷ 30)
= 2097152000 bacteria
