There are 1,000,000 bacteria that being cultures in a laboratory. The bacteria has a continuous growth rate of 1.5% per hour and death rate of 0.5% per hour. These bacteria are then used in experiments which extracts 5000 bacteria per hour from the culture. Determine the number of bacteria in the culture after 10 hours.
