Answer:

2.71 hours are required for the number of bacterias grouper are tripled.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacterias can be given by the following exponential function:

N(t) = N_{0}e^{rt}

In which N(t) is the number of bacterias at the time instant t, N_{0} is the initial number of bacterias and r is the rate for which they grow.

After 1 hour the crop has reached ( 3/2 ) N₀ Bacterias.

This means that N(1) = 1.5N_{0}. With this information, we can find r.

N(t) = N_{0}e^{rt}

1.5N_{0} = N_{0}e^{r}

e^{r} = 1.5

To find r, we apply ln to both sides

\ln{e^{r}} = \ln{1.5}

r = 0.405

Determine the time required for the number of bacterias grouper are tripled.

This is t when N(t) = 3N_{0}

N(t) = N_{0}e^{0.405t}

3N_{0} = N_{0}e^{0.405t}

e^{0.405t} = 3

Again, we apply ln to both sides

\ln{e^{0.405t}} = \ln{3}

0.405t = 1.10

t = 2.71

2.71 hours are required for the number of bacterias grouper are tripled.
