A population of bacteria is growing according to the function below, where t is in hours. How many hours will it take for the population to grow to 5,000 bacteria? B(t) = 20* e^1.5t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

250=e^1.5t so 1.5t=ln250

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I divide the ln250 by the ln 1.5 or just 1.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find ln250 first then divide that answer by 1.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so I get 3.68097

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep, that is correct
