Exponential growth

Calculus Level 5

In a certain biology experiment rate of increase of number of bacterias at time t is found to be numaricaly equal to number of bacterias prasent at that time,if a denotes the number of bacterias prasent initialy and b denotes number of bacterias prasent after time t (in seconds) then find out the ratio of b and a after 10s Now suppose your answer is n then find out the value of ⌊n⌋


The answer is 22026.

Accourding to question:- d b d t = b \frac{db}{dt}=b Rarranging:- d b b = d t \frac{db}{b}=dt Integrating both sides:- l n ( b ) = t + k . . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) ln(b)=t+k.........(1) Where k is constent of integration:- Now accourding to question when t=0 then b=a Putting the values in equation (1):- k = l n ( a ) k=ln(a) Putting the value of k in equation (1):- l n ( b ) = l n ( a ) + t ln(b)=ln(a)+t Rearranging and applying genral rules of log function:- l n ( b a ) = t ln(\frac{b}{a})=t Taking antylog both sides:- b a = e t \frac{b}{a}=e^{t} So ratio of b and a is exponential function of time so after 10seconds:- b a = e 10 = 22026.465 \frac{b}{a}=e^{10}=22026.465 And its greatest integer value =22026 22026 \boxed{22026}

Aman, great question, terrible wording. Could not figure out what you were asking.

Aman Sharma, you are sharing wonderful posts. But please avoid spelling mistakes: numerically not numarically, rearranging, according.
