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 .

In what ways can overpopulation be beneficial to differential reproductive success?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Differential reproduction is called the one that occurs as a result of the differences between the individuals that make up a society or sample, where it is those with comparative advantages who manage to reproduce, while those who do not have said advantages tend to die out. It is, in short, a practical application of Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection.

Thus, if there is an overpopulation of a certain species, a series of effects will occur (such as the scarcity of resources, the lack of living space, etc.) that will tend to gradually decrease the population to return to an ideal number of individuals. In this aspect, differential reproduction will be applied, being able to reproduce those that have comparative advantages over the rest, which will inevitably become extinct.
