Growth of Bacteria The growth rate of the bacterium Escherichia coli, a common bacterium found in the human intestine, is proportional to its size. Under ideal laboratory conditions, when this bacterium is grown in a nutrient broth medium, the number of cells in a culture doubles approximately every 20 min. a. If the initial cell population is 100, determine the function Q(t) that expresses the exponential growth of the number of cells of this bacterium as a function of time t (in minutes). b. How long will it take for a colony of 100 cells to increase to a population of 1 million? c. If the initial cell population were 1000, how would this after our model?

Differential Equations

Have you ever observed the movement of the satellites and rockets or how the planets go around the sun in their orbits? How will you determine their motion? Definitely they follow some scientific laws and these kinds of problems are framed as differential equations.
