11. Exponential Growth is used to model the number of bacteria in an experiment. Using integration methods solve the following: a. If there are 2000 bacteria after 2.5 hours and 6000 bacteria after 4.5 hours, how many bacteria were present initially? b. After how many hours will the bacteria be 50,000? Use the equation y=Cek", where C is the initial amount, and k is the proportionality constant. There are unknowns (C and k)
