A biologist is researching a newly discovered species of bacteria. At time t=0, he puts one hundred bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. 

Write out the exponential growth equation with the known and unknown quantities for this problem. 

After 7 hours, the colony contains 400 bacteria. What is the growth rate?

What is the doubling time for this bacteria colony?

If the derivative of A(t) = A0ert  is A'(t) = rA0ert , what is the instantenous rate of change at t = 7 hours to the avg rate of change over the time interval 0 < t < 7
