Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 3RQ
An environmental engineer has obtained a bacteria culture from a municipal water sample and allowed the bacteria to grow.
- a. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value, on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog, or log–log) to make the data appear linear.
- b. Assume the value of m in the resulting model is the growth constant. Use the trendline determined to find the value and units of the growth constant for these bacteria.
