Question: EFFECT OF A BACTERICIDE ON BACTERIA In the following figure, f(t) gives the population P1 of a certain bacteria culture at time t after a portion of bactericide A was introduced into the population at t = 0. The graph of t gives the population P2 of a similar bacteria culture at time t after a portion of bactericide B was introduced into the population at t 0.
a. Which population is decreasing faster at t1?
b. Which population is decreasing faster at t2?
c. Which bactericide is more effective in reducing the population of bacteria in the short run? In the long run?
