Exponential and logarithmic functions in microbiology


Application of exponential and logarithmic functions:

Q(t) = Qe^kt

The count in a bacterial culture was 400 after 2 hrs and 25,600 after 6 hrs.

We are supposing the exponential growth.

Q1. Determine the rate of growth of the population of bacteria?

Q2. Determine the initial population at time t = 0 hrs?

Q3. Write down the function which models the population n(t) after t hrs.

Q4. When will the number of bacteria surpass 100,000?
