Grey's Labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. The bacteria naturally grows exponentially at a rate of 4.7% each hour. The lab technicians know that the growth inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. The current sample contains 90 bacteria.
Once a standard tube contains more than 270 bacteria, the sample will stop growing. So, to analyze the effect of the inhibitor over longer spans of time, the lab technicians move the bacteria to larger containers, essentially increasing the container size at a constant rate. This adaptation accommodates 100 more bacteria each hour.
