There were 234 bacteria 6 hours ago
How to determine the number of bacteria?
The given parameters are;
Presently, a = 15000
Rate, b = 2
The function is an exponential function, and it is represented as:
f(x) = ab^x
This gives
f(x) = 15000 * 2^x
6 hours ago, the value of x is
x = -6
So, we have:
f(-6) = 15000 * 2^(-6)
Evaluate
f(-6) = 234
Hence, there were 234 bacteria 6 hours ago
