Answer:

p(t)=100e^ln5.7t

Explanation:

The growth rate of bacteria is directly proportional to its size and shows the exponential growth. The initial bacteria amount is 100 and later increased to 570.

The number of bacteria after t hours is

p(t)=100e^kt where k is the relative growth rate. and t is the time.

Here p (t) = 570 and t = 1 hour, then K =

 420=100e^k(1)  

K = ln(5.7)

Put the value of K in original equation then,

p(t)=100e^ln(5.7)t

Thus, the expression for the number of bacteria after t hours is p(t)=100e^ln(5.7)t .

melamori03 [73]

Explanation:

Chewing, grinding, pressing, salivating

When we chew, the tongue and the cheeks work together to constantly move the food between the teeth so that it can be chewed. The tongue presses the crushed food against the palate and moves this bolus, which is then ready to be swallowed, to the throat.
