#10. A strain of common bacteria is being grown in a lab. After 10 hours there are 312 thousand bacteria. After 18 hours, the population is 975 thousand. (a Determine an exponential growth model for the bacteria population, P(t). How many bacteria are there after (i) 5 hours? (ii) 24 hours? What is the doubling time of the bacteria population? What is the rate of growth as a %/hr? What is the instantaneous growth rate of the population at the doubling time
