The number of bacteria in a culture is given by the function n(t) = 960e. where t is measured in hours. (a) What is the exponential rate of growth of this bacterium population? Your answer is (b) What is the initial population of the culture (at t=0)? Your answer is (c) How many bacteria will the culture contain at time t-4? Your answer is
This exercise uses the population growth model. The count in a culture of bacteria was 400 after 2 hours and 25,600 after 6 hours. (a) What is the relative rate of growth of the bacteria population? Express your answer as a percentage. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 104 % (b) What was the initial size of the culture? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) 200 x bacteria (c) Find a function that models the number...
7. (7 pts) The number N() of bacteria in a culture is growing exponentially. When t=0 hours, Nt) = 5000 bacteria, and when 1 = 5 hours, N(O) = 30,000 bacteria. W a. Find the growth rate k. (Round to four decimal places.) In solamyes Isinoshorts non 11001nix on bald #7a: b. Write the function () that represents the number of bacteria after hours. #7b: c. After how many hours will the number of bacteria be 100,000? Round to the...
Modeling Exponential Growth and Decay A research student is working with a culture of bacteria that doubles in size every 26 minutes. The initial population count was 1425 bacteria. a. Rounding to four decimal places, write an exponential equation representing this situation. B(t) = (Let t be time measured in minutes.) b. Rounding to the nearest whole number, use B(t) to determine the population size after 5 hours. The population is about bacteria after 5 hours. (Recall that t is...
The number of bacteria in a dish culture after t hours is given by B = 100 e0.693x 0.693 x a) What was the initial number of bacteria present? b) When will the bacteria present be 205,000?
This exercise uses the population growth model. A culture starts with 8700 bacteria. After 1 hour the count is 10,000. (a) Find a function that models the number of bacteria n(t) after thours. (b) Find the number of bacteria after 2 hours. (c) After how many hours will the number of bacteria double?
This exercise uses the population growth model. A culture starts with 8100 bacteria. After 1 hour the count is 10,000. (a) Find a function that models the number of bacteria n(t) after t hours. (Round your r value to three decimal places.) n(t) = (b) Find the number of bacteria after 2 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest hundred.) bacteria (C) After how many hours will the number of bacteria double? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) hr
11. The population of a culture of bacteria at time t (in hours) is given by the following equation: P(t) 10e Find the doubling time.
Suppose the following graph represents the number of bacteria in a culture t hours after the start of an experiment. a. At approximately what time is the instantaneous growth rate the greatest, for Osts 36? Estimate the growth rate at this time b. At approximately what time in the interval Osts 36 is the instantaneous growth rate the least? Estimate the instantaneous growth rate at this time. c. What is the average growth rate over the interval 0 st 36?...
The population P(t) of a culture of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is given by P(t) = -168972 +80,000 + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Part 1 out of 2 a. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour. 1 The population is at a maximum approximately 23 hours after the culture was started.
