A culture started with 5000 bacteria. after 4 hours, it grew to 6000. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 17 hours

A culture started with 5000 bacteria. after 4 hours, it grew to 6000.

=> Increasing rate = difference/time = (6000 - 5000)/4 = 250 bacteria/hour

=> The number of bacteria after 17 hours:

N = 5000 + 250 x 17 = 9250 bacteria

Hope this helps!

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169
