The size of the bacteria after 8 hours will be of squared inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential function:
An exponential function has the following format:
In which F(0) is the initial value and F is the growth rate.
A bacteria with an initial size of 180in2 grows by 27% every minute.
In which t is measured in minutes,
What will the size of the bacteria be after 8hours
8 hours has 8*60 = 480 minutes, so this is F(480).
The size of the bacteria after 8 hours will be of squared inches.
