Answer:
The number of bacteria at initial = 187
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the population of bacteria in a culture grows at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria present at time t.
Integrating both side we get
㏑ N = k t + C ------- (1)
Now given that after 3 hours it is observed that 500 bacteria are present and after 10 hours 5000 bacteria are present.
⇒ ㏑ 500 = 3 k + C -------- (2)
⇒ ㏑ 5000 = 10 k + C ------ (3)
⇒ ㏑ 5000 - ㏑ 500 = 7 k
⇒ ㏑ = 7 k
⇒ ㏑ 10 = 7 k
⇒ k = 0.329
Put this value of k in equation (2),
⇒ ㏑ 500 = 3 × 0.329 + C
⇒ C = 5.23
Put this value of C in equation 1 we get,
⇒ ㏑ N = k t + 5.23
Initially when t = 0 , then
⇒ ㏑ N = 5.23
⇒ N = 187
Thus the number of bacteria at initial = 187
Answer:
Dimensions:
Perimiter:
Minimum perimeter: [16,16]
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a problem of optimization with constraints.
We can define the rectangle with two sides of size "a" and two sides of size "b".
The area of the rectangle can be defined then as:
This is the constraint.
To simplify and as we have only one constraint and two variables, we can express a in function of b as:
The function we want to optimize is the diameter.
We can express the diameter as:
To optimize we can derive the function and equal to zero.
The minimum perimiter happens when both sides are of size 16 (a square).
