Question Number 116976 by bobhans last updated on 08/Oct/20
use the formula P=Ie^(kt) ,where P is resulting population ,I is the initial population and t is measured in hours. A bacterial culture has an initial population of 10,000. If its declines to 5000 in 6 hours , what will it be at the end of 8 hours? (a) 1985 (b) 3969 (c) 2500 (d) 4353

⇒5000=10,000e^(6k) ⇒((5000)/(10,000)) = e^(6k) ⇒(1/2) = e^(6k) ; 6k=−ln 2 k = −((ln 2)/6) = −0.115525 we want compute P = 10,000e^(8k) P=10,000e^(−8×0.115525) =3969
$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{5000}=\mathrm{10},\mathrm{000e}^{\mathrm{6k}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{5000}}{\mathrm{10},\mathrm{000}}\:=\:\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{6k}} \:\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\:\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{6k}} \:;\:\mathrm{6k}=−\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{k}\:=\:−\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{6}}\:=\:−\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{115525} \\ $$$$\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{want}\:\mathrm{compute}\:\mathrm{P}\:=\:\mathrm{10},\mathrm{000e}^{\mathrm{8k}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{10},\mathrm{000e}^{−\mathrm{8}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{115525}} =\mathrm{3969} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

i will say P(t) = P_0 e^(kt) just because am use to writing it this way. so P_0 = 10,000 bac, P(6) = 5000 bac ⇒ 5000 = 10,000 e^(6k) ⇒ (1/2) = e^(6k) ln ((1/2)) = 6k or k = −((ln 2)/6) hence, P(t) = 10000 e^(−((ln 2)/6)t) when t = 8, P(8) = 10,000 e^(−((4ln 2)/3)) = 3969 answer = (b)
