The rate of growth of a certain cell culture is proportional to its size. In 6 hours a population of 1 million cells grew to 7 million. How large will the cell culture be after 15 hours? The population of the cell culture after 15 hours will be million. (Round the final answer to the nearest million as needed. Round all intermediate values to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

The rate of growth of a certain cell culture is proportional to its size. In 8 hours a population of 1 million cells grew to 7 million. How large will the cell culture be after 20 hours? The population of the cell culture after 20 hours will be million. (Round the final answer to the nearest million as needed. Round all intermediate values to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

The rate of growth of a certain cell culture is proportional to its size. In 10 hours a population of 1 million cells grew to 9 million. How large will the cell culture be after 15 hours?
A bacteria culture grows with constant relative growth rate. After 2 hours there are 600 bacteria and after 8 hours the count is $75,000 .$ (a) Find the initial population. (b) Find an expression for the population after thours. (c) Find the number of cells after 5 hours. (d) Find the rate of growth after 5 hours. (e) When will the population reach $200,000 ?$
