There is evidence that cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T cells) participate in controlling tumor growth and that they can be harnessed to use the body's immune system to treat cancer. One study investigated the use of a T cell-engaging antibody, blinatumomab, to recruit T cells to control tumor growth. The data below are T cell counts (1000 per microliter) at baseline (beginning of the study) and after 20 days on blinatumomab for 6 subjects in the study. The difference (after 20...

A given bacteria culture initially contains 1500 bacteria and doubles every half hour. The number of bacteria p at a given time t (in minutes) is given by the formula p(t)=1500e^(kt) for some constant k. (You will need to find k to answer the following.) a) Find the size of the bacterial population after 110 minutes. b) Find the size of the bacterial population after 8 hours.​
