Question

Suppose the function ƒ(t) = et describes the growth of a colony of bacteria, where t is hours. Find the number of bacteria present at 5 hours. Question 11 options: A) 79.432 B) 8.155 C) 59.598 D) 148.413

Answer 1

The number of bacteria present at 5 hours is 148.413

Explanation:

Function:
`f(t)=e^t`

This function describes the growth of a colony of bacteria, where t is hours.

We are supposed to find the number of bacteria present at 5 hours.

So, Substitute t = 5

So, the number of bacteria present at 5 hours =
`e^5`

The number of bacteria present at 5 hours = 148.413

So, Option D is true

Hence the number of bacteria present at 5 hours is 148.413
