Problem

A population of bacteria grows so that its rate of change (in cells per hour) at time tt hours is given by dPdt=40e−0.2t\dfrac{dP}{dt}=40e^{-0.2t}. If the population is 100100 cells at t=0t=0, what is P(5)P(5)? (a) 100+200e100+\dfrac{200}{e} (b) 300−200e300-\dfrac{200}{e} (c) 100+40e100+\dfrac{40}{e} (d) 300+200e300+\dfrac{200}{e}
