5. A bacteria culture initially contains 500 cells. After 1 hour, the bacteria population has grown to 1000. Assuming exponential growth, what will be the population after 3 hours?

Already have an account? Log in
, as an exponential function of the time elapsed since the experiment began.
. Is that what was expected from our exponential growth model?
. 
is the initial number of bacteria and 
is the proportionality constant. Based on observation, it is found that the number of bacteria reached 
after 
hours. If the population is expected to double every 
hours, how many bacteria were initially there?
