To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we substitute t=5 into the function B(t) = 300(2)^t.

B(5) = 300(2)^5
B(5) = 300(32)
B(5) = 9600

Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
Is this correct just want to make sure
I apologize for the mistake. Upon reevaluating the expression B(5) = 300(2)^5, the correct solution is:

B(5) = 300(2)^5
B(5) = 300(32)
B(5) = 9600

Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
Thank you
