A a particular strain of bacteria triples in population every 15 minutes. Assuming you start with 120 bacteria in a petri dish, how many bacteria will there be in 1 hour

the answer to this question is in the pic

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

sorry can't
