uninhibited growth.
a) If N is the population of the colony and t is the time in days, express N as a function of t.
N (t)=Next
b) If 500 bacteria are present initially and they are 800 after 1 hour, has many will be present in

according to the funtions A(t)=A0e-0.0244t, where A0 is the inicial amount
present and A is the amount present time t (in years). Assume that a
scientist has a sample of 500 grams of strontium-90.
