A certain culture of the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides initially has 50 bacteria and is observed to double every 6 hours.(a) Find an exponential model n(t) = n02t/a
for the number of bacteria in the culture after t hours.
n(t) =
(b) Estimate the number of bacteria after 14 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
bacteria
(c) After how many hours will the bacteria count reach 1 million? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
t = hr
