A colony of 725 bacteria is growing exponentially. The growth rate is 14.4% per hour. How many bacteria should be in the colony in 12 hours? How many should be in the colony in 1 day?

4082

22976

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of colonies will be given by

Where A is the final number of colonies, P is the initial number, r is the rate of growth in decimal and t is time

Taking r as 0.144 and t as 12 hours then P is given as 725

When t is 1 day, 24 hours then

p = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps. Good luck
