Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growth </u>
The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:
Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.
The initial number of bacteria is Po=40 and it doubles (P=2Po) at t=20 min. With that point we can find the value of r:
Simplifying:
Solving for 1+r:
The exponential function that models the situation is:
