A culture started with 2000 bacteria. after 2 hours it grew to 2400 bacteria. predict how many bacteria will be present after 10 hours. round your answer to the nearest whole number. P=Ae^kt

There will be 4977 bacteria present after 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for continuous growth in t years is given by :-

  (i)

, where A = initial population, k= rate of growth.

As per given, A= 2000,  

After t= 2 hours, P=2400

Put these values in  (i), we get

Taking log on both sides

put value of A=2000, k= 0.09116 and t= 10 , we get

Hence, there will be 4977 bacteria present after 10 hours.

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
