PLEASE HELP & ROUND TO THE NEAREST TENTH The number of bacteria in a certain population is predicted to increase according to a continuous exponential growth model, at a relative rate of 9% per hour. Suppose that a sample culture has an initial population of 778 bacteria. Find the predicted population after two hours.
Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

mathhelper · Answer

number = initial*1.09^t, where t is in hours, so since t = 2 number = 778(1.09^2 = ...
