A culture started with 3,000 bacteria. After 5 hours, it grew to 3,6000 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 18 hours. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer :

Answer:

121,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming it is a linear relationship you would:

36000=5(M)+3000

find M which is your rate of change per hour which when we solve it is 6600.

then you would plug into the equation ~ x=18(6600)+3000. to find x which is how many bacteria will be present after 18 hours.
