The bacteria R. sphaeroides is the cause of the disease chlamydia. A culture of these bacteria initially has 26 bacteria and increases at a rate of 35% per hour. (a) Find the hourly growth factor a. a = Find an exponential model f(t) = Cat for the bacteria count in the sample, where tis measured in hours. f(t) = (b) Use the model you found to predict the number of bacteria in the sample after 6 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) bacteria The bacteria R. sphaeroides is the cause of the disease chlamydia.
