The required expression is: A=100(4.2)^t

The number of bacteria after 3 hours is 7409.

The rate of growth after 3 hours is 10,632 cells per hour.

Population reach 10,000 after 3.21 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size.

The Continuous Exponential Growth is:

$A=A_0e^{kt}$

Where A₀ is the initial value, e is the exponential, k is continuous growth rate

and t is time.

Part (A) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after hours.

It is given that initial population was 100 and after an hour the population is 420.

Substitute A=420, t=1 and A₀=100 in $A=A_0e^{kt}$ and find the growth rate as shown:

$420=100e^{k}\\4.2=e^k\\k=ln(4.2)$

So, the required expression is:

$A=100e^{ln(4.2)t}$

A=100(4.2)^t

Hence, the required expression is: A=100(4.2)^t

Part (B) Find the number of bacteria after 3 hours.

Substitute t=3 in above formula.

A=100(4.2)^3

$A=7408.8\approx7409$

Therefore, the number of bacteria after 3 hours is 7409.

Part (C) Find the rate of growth after 3 hours.

We need to find the rate of growth after 3 hours that means if the initially number of bacteria was 7409 then what is the growth rate at time t is

ky(t) = ln (4.2)y(t)

Therefore the required rate is:

$ln4.2 \times 7409$

$1.43508 \times 7409\approx10632.50$

Hence, the rate of growth after 3 hours is 10,632 cells per hour

Part (D) When will the population reach 10,000?

Substitute A=10,000 in A=100(4.2)^t

10000=100(4.2)^t

100=(4.2)^t

$t\approx3.21$

Hence, population reach 10,000 after 3.21 hours.
