If you were to shade 40 squares first and then shade 85 more would the answer be the same as shading 85 squares and then 40 more

Population decay where rate of decay is proportional to the population present

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Here N (t) represents the population or amount of bacteria present at time t.

N0 represents the initial population or N(0)

Since e has negative exponent, there is population decay and not expansion.

l, the coefficient of t in the exponent of e is the factor which represents the rate of decay

Whenever decay is proportional to the population present at that time, we get this equation.

N'=-lN

Separate the variables and integrate to get
