Substitute .
Number of bacteria at hours is
.
(b)
\The size of poulation after hours is
.
Where , is the exponential growth rate.
The equation is .
Compare the equation with
Therefore, the growth rate of the bacteria is per hour.
(c)
\Find the population after hours.
Substitute in the equation
.
Number of bacteria after hours is
.
(d)
\Find the number of hours taken to reach the population of bacteria.
Substitute in the equation
.
Take natural logarithm on each side.
\The population of bacteria reaches bacterias after
hours.
(e)
\The equation is .
Find the time when the population of the bacteria is double.
\Therefore,.
Substitute in
.
Take natural logarithm on each side.
\The population of bacteria is double bacteria after hours.
