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.

tangare [24]

Answer:

If one −5s−7(8s−1): -61s+7

If two −5s−7(8s−1): -112s+14

Step-by-step explanation:

-5s-7(8s-1)

Multiply -7 onto 8s and -1:

-5s-56s+7

add -5s and -56s:

-61s+7

−5s−7(8s−1)−5s−7(8s−1)

Multiply both -7 to 8s and -1

-5s-56s+7-5s-56s+7

add:

-112s+14
