Rate of growth of baster is proportional...

Rate of growth of baster is proportional to the number of bacteria present at that time. If x is the number of bacteria present any instant t, then which one of the following is correct ?(take proportional constant equal to 1)

A

x=log t

B

`x=ce^(t)`

C

`e^(x)=t`

D

`x=sqrtt`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Rate of growth of bacteria `alpha` number of bacteria present at that time
` Rightarrow (dy)/(dx) alpha x Rightarrow (dx)/(dt) =x ` ( proportional constant =1)
` Rightarrow int 1/x dx =int dt`
` Rightarrow log x + log c`
` Rightarrow log x - log c =t`
` Rightarrow log (x/c) =t`
` Rightarrow x/c = e^(t)`
` x= ce^(t)`
