Exponential and Logarithmic Models · Exercise 43

Use this scenario: A biologist recorded a count of $360$ bacteria present in a culture after 5 minutes and 1000 bacteria present after 20 minutes.

Rounding to six decimal places, write an exponential equation representing this situation. To the nearest minute, how long did it take the population to double?
