. The number N of bacteria in a culture grew at a rate proportional to N. The value of N was initially 100 and increased to 332 in 1 hr. The governing equation is dN dt = log(3.32)N, N(0) = 100. What is the value of N at time t = 1.5 hr.

Here you can use symbolic solution
syms N(t) t
eq = diff(N)==log(3.32)*N
N = dsolve(eq,N(0)==100)
N_1dot5_hour = eval(subs(N,t,1.5))
Result becomes
N_1dot5_hour =
6.049327896551812e+02
So the value of N at time t = 1.5 hr is approximately 605.

If the growth rate of a culture of bacteria is proportional to the number of bacteria present and after 1 day is 1.25 times the original number, within what interval of time will the number of bacteria (a) double, (b) triple?
