Bacteria grow in a culture at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, 300 strands of the bacteria are in the cultu

re and after two hours that number has grown by 20 percent. Find (a) an expression for the approximate number of strands in the culture at any time t and (b) the time needed for the bacteria to double its initial size.

Answer:

(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)

(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.

Explanation:

(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n

t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)

Since t = kn, then, n = t/k

(b) Initial amount of strands = 300

Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360

k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand

Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)

Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours

Deer’s Point of View


What would you do if you did not have clean oxygen to breathe?  The air is being polluted because of your factories and car fumes. It’s causing global warming and even negatively affecting the Polar Bears. You need to be aware of the other living organisms and environments. Remember, you can’t turn back time, so don’t wait until many more species are extinct, act now.
