No it is not a linear equation...in order for it to be linear it must be a straight line, but this line is curved slightly which prevents the pattern from being linear
Don't know whether or not you've encountered differential equations yet, but will try that approach here.
The growth rate is dy/dt = ky (which states that the rate is proportional to the size of the population, y, and k is a constant.
Grouping like terms,
dy
--- = kt, so y = Ne^kt
y
We are told that at t=0, there are 880 bacteria. Thus, 880=N. Therefore,
y = 880e^(kt). After 5 hours the pop will be 4400; using this info, find k:
4400=880e^(5k), or 5 = e^(5k). So, our y = 880e^(kt) becomes
y = 880e^(5t).
What will be the pop after 2 hours? y(2)=880e^(10) = 880(22026) =
approx. 19,383,290 bacteria
Time to reach a pop of 2550? 2550 = 880e^(5t). Find t.
ln 2550 = ln 880 + 5t, so ln 2550 - ln 880 = 5t. Divide both sides by 5 to obtain this time, t.
