OK, so, what if it gets more
complicated?
What if the amoeba doesn't make a
complete split in one hour? What if it only makes part of the
split in an hour?
Let's say that a certain alien
amoeba splits into
1.25
amoebas each hour... If we
start with
37
amoebas, how many will there be
in 6
hours?
First, we need to
get our growth formula:
Our
split factor is
1.25...
Our
initial population is
37...
The
number of splits is
6...
TRY IT:
If we start with
153
alien amoebas and each amoeba splits into
2.4
amoebas each hour, how many will there be in
7
hours?
