Help with rate of bacterial growth algebra assignment?

Bacterial Growth Chart and Directions (in picture)

1. Report the results of the calculations you performed above.

2. Which strain of E. coli exhibited the highest growth rate?

3. Which strain of E. coli exhibited the lowest growth rate?

4. Assuming that all five of the E. coli strains present a high toxicity danger to humans, which do you suppose would be the most manageable based upon growth? Why?

5. Consider how you’ve modeled the growth of the E. coli strains using the concept of geometric sequence. Is this a realistic approach to modeling bacterial growth?

6. What other factors do you think should be considered when modeling the growth of bacteria such as E. coli?

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this assignment. Thanks!
