Example Model: the rate of change of P with respect to t is proportional to 10 – t.
Practice The number of bacteria in a culture is increasing according to exponential growth. There are 125 after 2 hours and 350 after 4 hours. 1. Find the initial population. 2. Write a model to show the growth after t hours. 3. Use the model to find the number after 8 hours. 4. After how many hours will the number of bacteria be 25000?
