(1 point) A bacteria culture starts with 560 bacteria and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After 3 hours there will be 1680 bacteria.

(a) Express the population after t hours as a function of t
population:  (function of t)

(b) What will be the population after 2 hours?


(c) How long will it take for the population to reach 1250 ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

In lastly. To get the time first we do 1250÷560 and get a fraction . Then we multiply bye 60. As 1 hours =60 min. Then we get some  minutes and fraction. Then similarly multiply by 60 as 1 minute =60 second.
