A bacteria population is growing exponentially with a growth factor of 1/6 each hour. By what growth factor does the population change each half hour ?
A bacteria population is growing exponentially with a growth factor of 1/6 each hour. By what growth factor does the population change each half hour ?
If the rate for 1/2 hour is "r" that means that if we start with "S" in 1/2 hour we will have (1+ r)S left and after another half hour (1+ r)(1+ r)S. But two half hours is one hour so what is that equal to? Solve for r.
