Question

A bacteria culture is growing at a rate of

r(t) = 7e^0.6t
thousand bacteria per hour after t hours. How much did the bacteria population increase during the first two hours? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

`{ \bf{r(t) = 7e {}^(0.6t) }} \\ { \tt{r(2) = 7 {e}^(0.6 * 2) }} \\ = { \tt{7 {e}^(1.2) }} \\ = 23.241 \: thiusand bacteria \: per \: hour`
