Answer:

constant of proportionality

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that we have two proportional quantities; one is x and one is y.

If we know whether the relationship between them is direct or inverse proportion, then the ratio of the two quantities y/x gives us a constant generally known as the constant of proportionality.

A bacteria culture grows with constant relative growth rate. The bacteria count was 1,920 after 4 hours and 1,966,080 after 12 h
attashe74 [19]

From the calculation, the growth rate is 0.88.

<h3>What is the growth rate?</h3>

To find the relative growth rate

P1 = Poe^rt

P2 = Poe^rt

Thus;

1920 = Poe^4r ------ (1)

1966080 =Poe^12r -------(2)

P2/P1 gives;

1966080/1920 = Poe^12r/Poe^4r

1024 = e^12r/e^4r

1024 =e^8r

1024 = (e^r)^8

2^10 = (e^r)^8

e^r = 2^1.25

e^r = 2.38

r = ln(2.38)

r = 0.88

The initial size of the culture is;

1920 = Poe^(0.88 * 4)

Po = 1920/e^(0.88 * 4)

Po = 57

The  expression for the exact number of bacteria after t hours is

P(t) = 57e^0.08t

The growth (in bacteria per hour) after 9.5 hours is

P(t) = 57e^(0.88 * 9.5)

P(t) = 243544

For the number to reach 72,000;

72,000 =  57e^0.88t

72,000/57 = e^0.88t

ln 126 = ln[e^0.88t]

4.8 = 0.88t

t = 4.8/0.88

t = 5.5 hours
