Bacteria Count The number N of bacteria in a refrigerated food is given by

N(T) = 10T2 − 20T + 600, 2 ≤ T ≤ 20

where T is the temperature of the food in degrees Celsius. When the food is removed from refrigeration, the temperature of the food is given by

T(t) = 3t + 2, 0 ≤ t ≤ 6

where t is the time in hours.

(a) Find the composition (NT)(t) and interpret its meaning in context.


(b) Find the bacteria count after 0.5 hour.


(c) Find the time when the bacteria count reaches 1500.
