1.) A biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. He starts with 100
bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. Six hours later, he
measures 450 bacteria. Assuming exponential growth, what is the growth rate for the
bacterial?
2.) A biologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. He starts with 100
bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. The bacteria
grows at a rate of 12% each hour. When will the number of bacteria double?
