If the number of bacteria in a culture triples every 3 hours, the bacteria growth can be represented by the formula N(t) = No(3)t/3, where t is the time in hours and No is the number present at the start of the experiment. If 100 bacteria are counted at the start of the experiment, how many would be present after 12 hours?

Question

I do not know how this is an example I came up with to help me with the real question I need help badly

anonymous · Answer

ok they give you t, which is 12 and they give you No which is the starting amount of bacteria or 100 in this case.

anonymous · Answer

Now plug it ins, you should get (100)(3)(12/4) or [(100)(3)(12)]/4 depending on what its really saying
