Two million E. coli bacteria are present in a laboratory culture. An antibacterial agent is introduced and the population of bacteria P(t) decreases by half every 6 hr. The population can be represented by P(t) = 2,000,000(. a. Convert this to an exponential function using base e. b. Verify that the original function and the result from part (a) yield the same result for P(0), P(6), P(12), and P(60). (Note: There may be round-off error.)

A lush forest has 100 foxes and 2 rabbits. The fox population doubles every year and the rabbit population triples every year. The foxes agree not to hunt the rabbits until they are outnumbered by the rabbits. -Let t be the number of years that pass, and come up with two exponential expressions that model the fox population and rabbit population respectively. -The rabbits will equal (and then shortly outnumber) the foxes midway through some year. Find the value of t such that the two populations are equal, accurate to four decimal places, and the populations of each animal at that time to the nearest whole number.
