Question 29812: The number of bacteria present in a culture after t minutes is given as B = 10e^kt. If there are 7212 bacteria resent after 11 minutes, kind k. Answer by Fermat(136) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! B = 10e^(kt)
B = 7,212, t = 11
.: 7212 = 10e^(11k)
721.2 = e^(11k)
taking logs of both sides,
ln(721.2) = 11k
11k = 6.5809
k = 0.598265
