Asked by Denice

The number N of bacteria in a culture at time t (in hours) grows exponentially according to the function N(t) = 1000e^0.01t.

1.What is the population after 4 hours?
2.When will the number of bacteria reach 1700?
3. When will the number of bacteria double?

Please help and show all work

Surely you can just plug in your numbers.

#1: N(4) = 1000*e^.04
#2: 1000*e^.01t = 1700
#3 e^.01t = 2
