The bacteria in a petri dish increases according to continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate of 1.2% per hour. How much bacteria will you have after 24 hours from an initial sample of 2000 bacteria?

The number of bacteria growth after 24 hours is determined as 2,663 bacteria.

Number of bacteria after 1 hour

The number of bacteria growth after 1 hour can be calculated using the rate equation.

N(t) = N₀(1 + r)^t

where;

  • r is the rate = 1.2% = 0.012
  • t is time = 24 hours
  • N₀ is the initial number

N(24) = 2000(1 + 0.012)^24

N(24) = 2,663 bacteria

Thus, the number of bacteria growth after 24 hours is determined as 2,663 bacteria.
