Concept explainers
The number of yeast cells in a laboratory culture increases rapidly initially but levels off eventually. The population is modeled by the function
where t is measured in hours. At time t = 0 the population is 20 cells and is increasing at a rate of 12 cells/hour. Find the values of a and b. According to this model, what happens to the yeast population in the long run?
