Question

The population of an unknown bacteria in an experimental culture is estimated by the population function, , where x is the number of hours after the experiment begins. How fast is the population changing at the end of 2 hours?

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

First, you are not putting the function that we need to solve this. However, I will try to help you using a function from a similar exercise

N(x) = 11200/1+10e^-0.25 x

Using this expression, all you have to do is replace the time of 2 hours, where x is, and you'll know how much is changing the population

for x = 2

N = 11,200 / 1 + 10e^-(0.25*2)

N = 11,200 / 1 + 6.07

N = 1584.16 bacteria / h
