Step-by-step explanation:
The number of bacteria in a refrigerated food product is given by
where, T is the temperature of the food.
When the food is removed from the refrigerator, then the temperature is given by
We need to find the composite function N(T(t)).

Substitute t=5.8 in the above function.
Therefore, the number of Bactria after 5.8 hours is 12242.
