The population of a colony of 300 bacteria grows exponentially. After 2 hours, the population reaches 500. How much time will it take for the population to reach 9,600

Sagot :

Answer:

t = 13.56915448 hrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

500 = 300 [tex]e^{2k}[/tex]

5/3 = [tex]e^{2k}[/tex]

ln(5/3) = 2k ln(e)

k = ln(5/3)/2

k= 0.255412812

~~~~~~~~~~~~

9600 = 300 [tex]e^{0.255412812 t}[/tex]

32= [tex]e^{0.255412812 t}[/tex]

ln(32) = [tex]0.255412812 t[/tex] ln(e)

t = ln(32)/0.255412812

t = 13.56915448 hrs.
