The rate of growth dP/dt of a population of bacteria is proportional to the square root of t with a constant coefficient of 7, where P is the population size and t is the time in days (0≤t≤10). The initial size of the population is 600. Approximate the population after 7 days. Round the answer to the nearest integer.

A population of bacteria, growing according to the Malthusian model, doubles itself in 10 days. If there are 1000 bacteria present initially, how long will it take the population to reach 10,000? Please show all work and steps clearly so I can follow your logic and learn to solve similar ones myself. I will rate your answer and provide positive feedback. Thank you kindly!

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 200,000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, and so forth) eat 50,000 mosquitoes/day. Determine the population of mosquitoes in the area at any time. (Note that the variable represents days.) Correct answer : 200000*e^(ln(2)/7*t)-350000/ln(2)*(e^(ln(2)/7*t)-1)

The average work week for engineers in a start-up company is believed to be about 60 hours. A newly hired engineer hopes that it's shorter. She asks 10 engineering friends in start-ups for the lengths of their average work weeks. Based on the results that follow, should she count on the average work week to be shorter than 60 hours? Conduct a hypothesis test at the 5% level. Data (length of average work week): 70; 45; 55; 60; 65; 60;...

(2 pts) A population of bacteria doubles every 8 hours. We start with 250 cells. How many will we have after 5 days. Use the simple formula, y = ab^x where b = 2 for doubling increment. (2 pts) Now use the general formula. y(t) = a × e^kt. At 0 days, we have 250 cells. At 15 days with have 8,192,000 cells. What is the rate constant in units of days^-1.
