The population of bacteria in a petri dish doubles every 24 h. the population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms. how long will it take for the population of the bacteria to reach 800? round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour. a) 13.8 h b) 14.1 h c) 16.3 h d) 17.4 h

C. 16.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The function for exponential growth is,

where,

y(t) = the future amount,

A = initial amount,

r = rate of growth,

t = time.

As the population of bacteria in a Petri dish doubles every 24 h, so

The population of the bacteria is initially 500 organisms, so the function becomes,

We have to calculate t, when the the population of bacteria becomes 800. So,

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
