A bacteria culture grows according to the equation B(t)=1200(1.3)^t, where B(t) represents the number of bacteria after t hours. Which of the following data Is possible or not possible for the culture to have after 5 hours? Round to the nearest ones
To find out the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we can plug in t = 5 into the equation:
B(5) = 1200(1.3)^5
B(5) = 1200(4.1129)
B(5) ≈ 4935
Therefore, it is possible for the culture to have approximately 4935 bacteria after 5 hours.
