A scientist is observing a particular species of bacteria growing in a petri dish. The number of bacteria can be represented by the equation n(t) = 50(1.2)^t, where n is the number of bacteria after t hours. If the scientist checks the population in 4 hours, what would be an appropriate domain for the problem
1 answer
The domain of the problem would be the set of positive real numbers, as time cannot be negative and the model assumes the bacteria population increases continuously over time.
