Question
The population of a colony of
bacteria decreases exponentially, decreasing by 30% every three hours. The
population is 240, 000 at noon.
Find the population when it is decreasing at the rate of 50, 000 bacte-
ria/hour. Express your answer in its simplest form. Do not use a calculator.
Then, at the very end, use a calculator to compute the population.
