Having trouble with this one:
The formula y = nekt can be used for estimating growth where
n is the initial amount
k is a constant
t is the time
y is the final amount
This formula will be used for estimating the bacteria growth in a lab experiment. The output should look similar to:
Enter intial bacteria amount:
5.0
Enter a constant value for k:
0.8
Time(hours) Bacteria
1 11.13
2 24.77
3 55.12
4 122.66
5 272.99
6 607.55
7 1352.13
8 3009.23
In the class Mymath , write two different methods:
a. Prompts the user initial bacteria and the constant k in the method.
b. Get the user initial bacteria and the constant k from the main method.
Write a main method to test the two methods above.
My coding:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class bacteriagrowth
{
public static void main(String []args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
double n;
System.out.println("Enter initial bacteria amount: ");
n = input.nextDouble();
double k;
System.out.println("Enter a constant value for k: ");
k = input.nextDouble();
double t = 1;
double y = 0;
while (t<=8)
{
y = Math.pow(n*Math.E, (k*t));
t = t +1;
}
System.out.printf("time" + t, y);
}
}
