Please help me thank you so much. Just not sure of my answers

An interesting experiment is given. We need to address various questions based on our knowledge of calculus.

Step 2

Part (a)

Time taken for the radius to grow to 2 cm = t1 = r/0.5 = 2/0.5 = 4 hours

Time taken for the radius to become 0 = t2 and the same can be obtained by solving:

r = 2 - √t2 = 0

Hence, t2 = 22 = 4 hours

Hence, the time duration of the entire experiment (from the introduction of the bacteria until its disappearance) = t1 + t2 = 4 + 4 = 8 hours

Step 3

Part (b)

r(t) = 0.5t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4

and

r(t) = 2 - √(t - 4) for t > 2
