35. Life Science: Bacterial Growth Imagine that at a particular time, a kitchen counter has on it 2 bacteria and that this type of bacteria doubles in number every 5 minutes. The exponential function A(t) = 2e0.13863t is a good model for predicting the number of bacteria, A(t), in the population t minutes from some particular start time. How many bacteria could be predicted to be on the counter a. 1 hour later? (Use 60 minutes for 1 hour.) b. 2 hours later? Source: suggested by the article Bacteria and Foodborne Illness
