Default Exponential Decay
Quote:
A lab culture initially contains 500 bacteria. Two hours later, the number of bacteria has decreased to 200. Find the exponential decay model of the form
B=B_0a^{kt}
that can be used to approximate the number of bacteria after t hours.
I have no idea where to start. Any ideas?
