Equation for Bacteria Growth?

Assume a population of E. Coli doubles every 20 minutes. Write an equation for the number of Ecoli, N, as a function of time, t.





what i did so far:





Nt=(N0)(2^20k)


logNt=(logN0)+20klog2


where do i go from here

Equation for Bacteria Growth?
Hi there,





I think it should be:





N(t)=(N0)*[2^(t/20)], where t is in minutes and N0 is the initial population (at t = 0 min).





That is the equation.
Reply:Nt=No * 2^t/20


let initially population is No after time t1=20 min it is No*2^ti/20





similarly proceeding for 40 and 60 min we can get the answer
