Your answer

Respuesta :

Given :

A colony of bacteria grows according to the law of uninhibited growth

according to the function :

[tex]N(t) = 78e^{0.025t}[/tex]            .......1)

To Find :

How long will it take for the population to reach  530 grams.

Solution :

Putting 530 in equation 1 , we get :

[tex]530 = 78e^{0.025t}\\\\e^{0.025t}=6.79[/tex]

Taking log on both sides.

[tex]0.025t = log( 6.79)\\\\0.025t=1.915\\\\t=76.6\ days[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
