2396 1:29 PM CuiauC ICSu ILS I I population of at least 2500 bacteria. You determine the test is not possible at the present time, and also the earliest time it would be possible. Write an explanation to your boss of why the test isn\'t possible now and how you determined when it would be possible. Include details of your computations, why you performed them, and what they tell you about the situation. (Your boss is the owner\'s son. He knows some math and science, but is not an expert. He likes to have things explained to him especially when there\'s a lot of money or important clients at stake.)

Solution

P = 250*e^0.16*t

At t = 10 hr

P = 250*e^(0.16*10) = 1238.3 Bacteria

Also 2500 = 250*e^(0.16*t)

10 = e^(0.16*t)

t = 14.39 hr
