During the exponential phase, E. coli bacteria in a culture increase in number at a rate proportional to the current population.

If the growth rate is 1.9% per minute and the current population is 172.0 million, what will the population be 7.2 minutes from now?

Answer:

  197.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...

  p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)

Then we can compute for t=7.2:

  p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2

7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.

___

For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...

  f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)

where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.

2. A lunch stand makes s.75 profit on each chef's salad and $1.20 profit on each Caesar salad. On a typical weekday, it sells be
kow [346]

Let's let

<u>x = the number of chef salads, x>=0</u>

<u>y = the number of Caesar salads, y>=0</u>

The constrains are:

40 <= x <= 60

35 <= y <= 50

x + y <= 100

The objective function here is F(x, y) = 0.75x + 1.20y

The corner points are (40, 35),  (60, 35), (60, 40), (50, 50) and (40, 50).

F (40, 35) = 0.75*40 + 1.20*35 = $72

F (60, 35) = 0.70*60 + 1.20*35 = $84

F (60, 40) = 0.75*60 + 1.20*40 = $93

F (50, 50) = 0.75*50 + 1.20*50 = $97.50

F (40, 50) = 0.75*40 + 1.20*50 = $90

Thus, we conclude to maximize the profit 50 Chef and 50 Caesar salads should be prepared.
