The volume of a microbial culture increases according to the formula:

V (cm^3) = 5 - 0.2 t e^t

Where t is the time in seconds. It is requested:

a. The units of the constants 5 and 0.2

b. Calculate the expression for V (in^3) in terms of t (h).

c. The exponential function and its argument must be non-dimensional. In appearance, the given function contradicts two rules and, however, is valid. Explain the paradox.
