Your roommate left the deviled eggs out on the counter for 8 hours, but is happily eating them for breakfast. "We learned that bacteria take 20 minutes to reproduce at room temperature," he explains, "so I figure at mos there's only a couple hundred in there. No big deal." What is your response, after remembering the equation N Noert, and the fact that e is roughly equal to 2.72? %3D O The intrinsic rate of increase (r) is only equal to 2, since each bacterium divides in half. No big deal. Hand me a fork! O If just 1 dangerous bacterium landed on your egg at the beginning of the night, there would now be approximately 1.7 million. They have been growing exponentially all night! You might be okay, but better not risk it. O If just 1 dangerous bacterium landed on your egg at the beginning of the night, there would now be nearly 27 billion. They have been growing exponentially all night! Call me if you need a ride to the hospital later. So the population only doubled 3 times for every hour, which is 24 times over the night? That makes only about 72 bacteria. If you waited until tomorrow, you might get poisoned. For now, though, bon appetit!

Question
Your roommate left the deviled eggs out on the counter for 8 hours but is happily eating them for breakfast. "We learned that bacteria take 20 minutes to reproduce at room temperature," he explains, "so I figure at most there's only a couple hundred in there. No big deal!" What is your response, after remembering the equation \( N_t = N_0 e^{rt} \), and the fact that \( e \) is roughly equal to 2.72? - ○ The intrinsic rate of increase (r) is only equal to 2, since each bacterium divides in half. No big deal. Hand me a fork! - ○ If just 1 dangerous bacterium landed on your egg at the beginning of the night, there would now be approximately 1.7 million. They have been growing exponentially all night! You might be okay, but better not risk it. - ○ If just 1 dangerous bacterium landed on your egg at the beginning of the night, there would now be nearly 27 billion. They have been growing exponentially all night! Call me if you need a ride to the hospital later. - ○ So the population only doubled 3 times for every hour, which is 24 times over the night? That makes only about 72 bacteria. If you waited until tomorrow, you might get poisoned. For now, though, bon appetit!
