The count in a bacteria culture was 900 after 15 minutes and 1300 after 30 minutes. Assuming the count grows exponentially. You may enter the exact value or round to 2 decimal places. What was the initial size of the culture? Find the doubling period. Find the population after 85 minutes. When will the population reach 12000.
