A bacteria culture doubles every 5 hours. Determine the hourly growth rate of the bacteria culture. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Using an exponential function, it is found that the hourly growth rate of the bacteria culture is of 14.9%.

------------------------

An exponential function has the following format:

In which:

------------------------

Since it doubles every 5 hours, it means that:

And we use this to find r.

------------------------

0.149*100% = 14.9%.

The hourly growth rate of the bacteria culture is of 14.9%.
