A culture of yeast grows at a rate proportional to its size. If the initial population is 1000 cells and it doubles after 4 hours, answer the following questions.1)Write an expression for the number of yeast cells after tt hours.Answer: P(t)=2) Find the number of yeast cells after 10 hours?3) Find the rate at which the population of yeast cells is increasing at 1010 hours.Answer (in cells per hour):??

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) [tex]P(t) =1000 e^{0.1732867951 t}[/tex]

b) [tex]P(t=10) =1000 e^{0.1732867951(10)}=5656.854[/tex]

c) [tex] rate= \frac{(5656.854-1000) cells}{(10-0) hours}=465.685 \frac{cells}{hour}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

For this case we assume an exponential growth model given by the following differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt}= KP[/tex]

Where P represent the population and t the times in hours. And each 4 hours the population is doubled.

If we solve the differential equation we got:

[tex]\frac{dP}{P}= Kdt[/tex]

Integrating both sides we got:

[tex]ln P= Kt + C[/tex]

If we use exponential on both sides we got:

[tex]P = e^{kt} e^C = P_o e^{kt}[/tex]

And for this case [tex]P_o = 1000[/tex] and we have this:

[tex]1000= P_o e^{k(0)}= P_o[/tex]

Then after 4 hours we have that the population is doubled so then would be 2000 cells and we got:

[tex]2000=1000 e^{4k}[/tex]

And we can solve for k like this:

[tex]ln(2) = 4k[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{ln2}{4}=0.1732867951[/tex]

So then our model is given by:

[tex]P(t) =1000 e^{0.1732867951 t}[/tex]

Part 2

For this case we just need to replace t= 10 hours into the model and we got:

[tex]P(t=10) =1000 e^{0.1732867951(10)}=5656.854[/tex]

Part 3

For this case we can find the rate like this:

[tex] rate= \frac{(5656.854-1000) cells}{(10-0) hours}=465.685 \frac{cells}{hour}[/tex]
