Question

WILL MEDAL FOR HELP
The generation time G for a particular bacteria is the time it takes for the population to double. The bacteria increase in population is shown by the formula G= (t)/(3.3log(base a)P)
where t is the time period of the population increase, a is the number of bacteria at the beginning of the time period, and P is the number of bacteria at the end of the time period. If the generation time for the bacteria is 4.5 hours, how long will it take 4 of these bacteria to multiply into a colony of 7,525 bacteria? Round to the nearest hour.

Answer 1

95 hours
132 hours
2 hours
57 hours

Answer 2

If someone could just tell me how to set it up?

Answer 3

You have to plug the numbers into the formula..., right?

Answer 4

the list of 4 are the multiple choice of the answer

Answer 5

Yes, I know that. I meant you the values given (4.5, 4, 7525)

Answer 6

G= (4.5)/(3.3log(base a)7525)

Answer 7

where do I put the 4?

Answer 8

Hey.... That's wrong!!!!

Answer 9

Please read the question again and try to figure out the values ...... ;-)

Answer 10

Can you tell me what G is?

Answer 11

bingo!

Answer 12

so 4 is a

Answer 13

yeah!!

Answer 14

4.5= (t)/(3.3log(base 4)7525)
so we are solving for t?

Answer 15

That's right....:-)

Answer 16

i got 95

Answer 17

:-D

Answer 18

thanks for the help!
