Answer:
The initial population was 2810
The bacterial population after 5 hours will be 92335548
Step-by-step explanation:
The bacterial population growth formula is:
where P is the population after time t, is the starting population, i.e. when t = 0, r is the rate of growth in % and t is time in hours
Data: The doubling period of a bacterial population is 20 minutes (1/3 hour). Replacing this information in the formula we get:
Data: At time t = 100 minutes (5/3 hours), the bacterial population was 90000. Replacing this information in the formula we get:
Data: the initial population got above and t = 5 hours. Replacing this information in the formula we get:
Check the picture below.
so the figure is really just 3 rectangles and two triangles.
simply get the area of all 5, sum them up, and that's the area of the figure.
recall that area of a triangle A = ½bh.
