The reproduction of cells in a bacterial colony is important for

many environmental engineering applications such as wastewater

treatments. The formula

log(N) = log(N0) + t/T log(2)

can be used to simulate this, where N0 is the original population, N is

the population at time t, and T is the time it takes for the population to

double. Use the solve function to determine the following: if N0 = 102

N = 108

, and t = 8 hours, what will be the doubling time T? Use

double to get your result in hours.

>> No = 10^2;

>> N = 10^8;

>> t = 8;

>> T = sym('T');

>> eqn = log(No) + (t/T)*log(2) - log(N);

>> double(solve(eqn))
