Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 26P
The data below represents the bacterial growth in a liquid culture over a number of days.
| Day | 0 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
| Amount
|
67 | 84 | 98 | 125 | 149 | 185 |
Find a best-fit equation to the data trend. Try several possibilities – linear, parabolic, and exponential. Use the software package of your choice to find the best equation to predict the amount of bacteria after 40 days.
