Question

The function P=48∙e^((.045t)) gives the number of bacteria in a population as a function of time in hours.

Answer 1

The number of bacteria when t = 8 is approximately 66 bacterias

Exponential functions

Given the function that gives the number of bacteria in a population as a function of time in hour expressed as:

P=48∙e^((0.045t))

If the value of t is 8, hence;

P=48∙e^((0.045(8))

P = 48e^0.36

P = 65.933

Hence the number of bacteria when t = 8 is approximately 66 bacterias
