Suppose you started with 100 bacteria, but they still grew by the same growth factor. How would your rule change? Explain your answer.(2 points)

If the growth factor remains the same, then the rule for calculating the number of bacteria would be to multiply the previous number of bacteria by the growth factor.

For example, if the growth factor is 2 (meaning the number of bacteria doubles), then after one growth cycle, the number of bacteria would be 100 * 2 = 200. After two growth cycles, it would be 200 * 2 = 400. And so on.
