(a)
\The function is
.
Find number of bacteria at
hours.
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.
(a) Number of insects at
hours is
bacteria.
(b) The growth rateof the bacteris is
per hour.
(c) Number of bacteria after
hours is
.
(d) The population of bacteria reaches
bacterias after
hours.
(e) The population of bacteria is double bacteria after
hours.
