Suppose there are 30 bacteria in a Petri dish at start time. Seven hours later, there are 360 bacteria in the dish. 1.) Express the number of bacteria, P, as a function of \( t \) hours passed. Note: Round the growth rate to 4 dec. places. \( P(t)= \) 2.) Use the model from part a to determine the number of bacteria, rounded to a whole number, in the dish after 20 hours:

An unknown microbial specimen measures 18 millimetres under a total magnification of 400 x , when examined under the microscope. What is the actual size of the unknown specimen? \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { (A) } 45 \text { micrometres. Total magnification }=400 x \\ \text { (B) } 4.5 \text { micrometres. } \quad \frac{18}{400 x}=0.045 \mathrm{~mm} \\ \text { (C) } 0.45 \text { micrometres. } \\ \text { (D) } 0.045 \text { micrometres. } & \text { micrometers }=0.045 \times 1000=45 \text { micrometers }\end{array} \)
