Acertain strain of bacteria divides every 2 hours. if a colony is started with 80 bacteria, then the time t (in hours) required for the colony to grow to n bacteria is given by t = 2 log(n/80) log 2 . find the time required for the colony to grow to two million bacteria.

The time required for the colony to grow two million bacteria is 29.22.

Explanation:

Time required for the colony to grow can be calculated by the following equation:

Here t is time, N = 2 million  (require bacteria population).

t ≈ 29.22

Time taken by bacteria to grow is 29.22.
