Answer: Population Growth The rate of growth of a population of bacteria is proportional

Chapter 5, Problem 52

(choose chapter or problem)

The rate of growth \(d P / d t\) of a population of bacteria is proportional to the square root of t, where P is the population size and t is the time in days \((0 \leq t \leq 10)\). That is,

\(\frac{d P}{d t}=k \sqrt{t}\)

The initial size of the population is 500 . After 1 day the population has grown to 600 . Estimate the population after 7 days.

Text Transcription:

d P / d t

(0 \leq t \leq 10)

\frac d P d t=k \sqrt t
