Transcribed Image Text:

The small intestine bacteria, while inhabiting areas optimal for growth, have a doubling time of roughly h (h=a12) hours. A normal small intestine starting population would be approximately 10K bacteria per ml of fluid. a. (2 marks) Write an equation to model this exponential growth, with number of bacteria per ml and x representing the time in hours. b. (4 marks) How long will it take for there to be 100K bacteria per ml? (Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary) b(x), representing the c. d. (2 marks) Determine the average rate of change between 20 hours and 30 hours. (2 marks) Estimate the instantaneous rate of change at 24 hours.
