1. A bacteria culture starts with 2000 bacteria and quadruples every 25 minutes.
(a) Find a function that models the number of bacteria after t minutes, assuming the population
grows at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria.
(b) Find the number of bacteria present after 2 hours.
(c) At what time are there 30,000 bacteria?
2. The half-life of a radioactive substance is 10 days. How much of a 30 g sample remains after 2 weeks?
3. An object with temperature 150◦ F is placed into a room with temperature 80◦ . After 20 minutes,
the temperature of the object is 120◦ F. Find a function that models the temperature of the object
after t minutes.
4. A curve has the property that at every point the slope of the curve is 5 times the y-coordinate. If the
curve passes through the point (2, 4), find the equation of the curve.
5. A tank initially contains 300 kg of salt dissolved in 1500 L of water. Pure water is poured into the
tank at a rate of 10 L/min. The solution is thoroughly mixed and drains out of the tank at 10 L/min.
(a) Find a function that models the amount of salt in the tank after t minutes.
(b) When will the concentration of salt in the tank be 0.1 kg/L?
