The population of bacteria in a Petri dish is 550 and increases according to the expression 550 (3.40.006), where t is the number of hours. What effect would increasing the initial population of the bacteria have on the percentage rate at which the number of bacteria increases?
An increase in the initial population does not affect the percentage rate at which the population
increases
An increase in the initial population increases the time the bacteria are increasing
An increase in the initial population will lower the percentage rate at which the population increases
An increase in the initial population will increase the percentage rate at which the population increases.
