    A bacterial culture has area p mm2 at time t hours after the culture was placed onto a
    circular dish.

    A scientist states that at time t hours, the rate of increase of the area of the culture can be
    modelled as being proportional to the area of the culture.

    It can be shown that the scientist’s model for p leads to the equation p=ae kt where a and k
    are constants.

    The scientist measures the values for p at regular intervals during the first 24 hours after the
    culture was placed onto the dish.

    She plots a graph of ln p against t and finds that the points on the graph lie close to a
    straight line with gradient 0.14 and vertical intercept 3.95

    Estimate, to 2 significant figures, the value of a and the value of k .
