Question:
The population P of a bacterial colony t days after observation begins is modeled by the cubic function P(t) = 1.035t3 + 103.5t2 + 6,900t + 230,000
a. Compute and interpret the derivative P'(t).
b. At what rate is the population changing after 1 day? After 10 days?
c. What is the initial population of the colony? How long does it take for the population to double? At what rate is the population growing at the time it doubles?
