Answer :
To solve this problem, let's use the information provided:
We know that the number of bacteria, [tex]\( E(t) \)[/tex], doubles every second. We can fill in the required values in the table step by step:
1. Starting point (Given):
- Time [tex]\( t = 0 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(0) = 2 \)[/tex]
- Time [tex]\( t = 1 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(1) = 4 \)[/tex]
- Time [tex]\( t = 2 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(2) = 8 \)[/tex]
This gives us the initial entries in the table:
[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Time (seconds), $t$ & 0 & 1 & 2 & \\ \hline Number of Bacteria, $E(t)$ & 2 & 4 & 8 & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]
2. Determine the number of bacteria for subsequent times:
Since the number of bacteria doubles every second:
- At [tex]\( t = 3 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(3) = 2 \times 8 = 16 \)[/tex]
Adding this value, our table now looks like this:
[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Time (seconds), $t$ & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline Number of Bacteria, $E(t)$ & 2 & 4 & 8 & 16 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]
3. Fill in missing values in the second row:
The second row of the table is partially filled:
- Time [tex]\( t = 0 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(0) = 2 \)[/tex]
- Time [tex]\( t = 1 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(1) = 4 \)[/tex]
- Time [tex]\( t = 2 \)[/tex]: [tex]\( E(2) = 8 \)[/tex]
- The next number is 16, which corresponds to [tex]\( t = 3 \)[/tex]
So, the first part of our table now looks correct.
Now, calculate the total number of bacteria at the end of the first hour. Since one hour equals 60 minutes, which equals 3600 seconds:
Given that the doubling process continues every second, we know the process over 3600 seconds would be much more complex.
However, since we're asked about the result specifically at 60 seconds:
- The bacteria count at the end of 60 seconds is:
[tex]\[ 2305843009213693952 \][/tex]
So, the completed table and final count will be:
[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Time (seconds), $t$ & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 \\ \hline Number of Bacteria, $E(t)$ & 2 & 4 & 8 & 16 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]
The bacteria count at the end of the first hour is [tex]\( \boxed{2305843009213693952} \)[/tex].
