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 19 options: A) 8.155 B) 79.432 C) 148.413 D) 59.598

Answer 1

C) 148.413

Explanation:

ƒ(t) = et

Where ƒ(t) = number of bacterials present at a particular time t.

So let's determine the number of bacterial present at 5 hours

ƒ(t) = et

ƒ(5) = e(5)

ƒ(5) = 148.413

Approximately= 148 in whole numbers.

So the number of bacterial present at 5 hours is approximately 148 bacterial.

Let's remember we solved it from the equation ƒ(t) = et .
