a bacteria colony doubles in 7 hr. how long does it take the colony to triple? use N=m02t/T where N0 is the initial number of bacteria and T is the time in hours it takes the colony to double. ( round to nearest hundredth as necessary)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help me plzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that m0 or N0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

N=N02t/T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the formula is \[N=N_0 \times \frac{t}{T}~? \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i forgot the constant 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[N=2N_0 \frac{t}{T}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bacterial growth is supposed to be exponential... hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably but its doesn't says on the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same here as well
