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.

The given parabola is y+4=12(x-7)^2. Compare with the standard equation of a parabola in vertex form, y-c=a(x-b)^2.

The vertex of this parabola is (b,c). Compare y+4=12(x-7)^2 with the standard equation y-c=a(x-b)^2.

we see c=-4,b=7. Thus, the vertex of the given parabola is (7,-4).
