For the first question here, the exponential growth rate, this rate has the formula that is pt is equal to p0 e to the power k t.
00:21
Here, p t is the population size at time t.
00:33
P0 is the initial population.
00:40
K is the specific growth rate and t here here is the time.
00:54
Now in the first question here it is said that the initial population, let's assume that the initial population that is p0 is equal to n.
01:06
So it is said that p t here will be 3n and time t is equal to 60 hours.
01:16
So if we put this value in the formula then here three, three, three, n is equal to n into e to the power k into 60.
01:26
Here we have to calculate the value of k.
01:29
So here it is e to the power 60 into k is equal to 3 or 60 into k is equal to log of 3 or k is equal to log of 3 divided by 60.
01:48
The value of log 3 is equal to 1 .098 divided by 60, that is equal to 0 .0183.
02:01
This here is our specific growth rate and our first answer.
02:06
Now for the second question, it is said that p t is equal to 2n, that is for the doubling time.
02:18
Here it is the doubling of the population and p0 will be n now we have to calculate the time that is t and specific growth rate k will be 0 .018 3 so here it is the formula is p t is equal to p 0 into 8 e to the power k t so here it is 2n is equal to n into e to the power 0 .0183 into t so it is e to the power 0 .0183 into t is equal to 2 or 0 .183 into t is equal to 2 or 0 .0183 into t is equal to 2 or 0 .0183 into t is equal to log of 2...
