A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has i

ncreased to 230. (a) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after t hours. (b) Find the number of bacteria after 2 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) P(2) = ___bacteria (c) Find the rate of growth after 2 hours. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) P'(2) = ___bacteria per hour (d) When will the population reach 10,000? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) t = ___hr

Answer:

  • P(t) = 100·2.3^t
  • 529 after 2 hours
  • 441 per hour, rate of growth at 2 hours
  • 5.5 hours to reach 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to write an exponential expression as ...

   value = (initial value)×(growth factor)^(t/(growth period))

(a) Here, the growth factor for the bacteria is given as 230/100 = 2.3 in a period of 1 hour. The initial number is 100, so we can write the pupulation function as ...

  P(t) = 100·2.3^t

__

(b) P(2) = 100·2.3^2 = 529 . . . number after 2 hours

__

(c) P'(t) = ln(2.3)P(t) ≈ 83.2909·2.3^t

  P'(2) = 83.2909·2.3^2 ≈ 441 . . . bacteria per hour

__

(d) We want to find t such that ...

  P(t) = 10000

  100·2.3^t = 10000 . . . substitute for P(t)

  2.3^t = 100 . . . . . . . . divide by 100

  t·log(2.3) = log(100)

  t = 2/log(2.3) ≈ 5.5 . . . hours until the population reaches 10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The pentagon has been split into 5 congruent triangles.

<u>Each triangle has area of:</u>

  • 1/2*48*\sqrt{40.8^2 - (48/2)^2} = 24*\sqrt{1088.64} = 24*33 = 792 ft²

<u>The area of the room is:</u>

  • 792*5 = 3960 ft²
