The population P of bacteria in a culture after t minutes is given by the equation P = P0(1.14)t, where P0 is the initial population. If the number of bacteria starts at 500, how long will it take for the population to increase to 1,000? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. It will take about minutes for the population to increase to 1,000.

constant of proportionality = 3 and the equation is c = 3p.

step-by-step explanation:

c = kp   where c = amount of caffeine in mg., p = oz of pepsi and k is the constant of proportionality.

substituting the values given:

24 = 8k

k = 3.

the same value of k will be obtained if we substitute the other given values.

good luck on ur quiz test or homework. have a good day : )
