Given:
Initial number of bacteria = 3000
With a growth constant (k) of 2.8 per hour.
To find:
The number of hours it will take to be 15,000 bacteria.
Solution:
Let P(t) be the number of bacteria after t number of hours.
The exponential growth model (continuously) is:
Where, is the initial value, k is the growth constant and t is the number of years.
Putting in the above formula, we get
Taking ln on both sides, we get
Therefore, the number of bacteria will be 15,000 after 0.575 hours.
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have two points through which the line passes:
We found the slope:
Substituting we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute one of the points and find the cut-off point:
Finally, the equation is:
