Asked by robert
                The number 
N of bacteria in a culture at time t
(in hours) grows exponentially according to the function N(t) = 1000e^0.01t
When will the number of bacteria reach 1700?
I though you would do 1700=1,000^e0.01t and solve for t but i keep getting the wrong answer can someone please help me and show all work thank you

    1.7 = e^0.01t
ln(1.7) = 0.01 t
100 ln(1.7) = t
    
ln(1.7) = 0.01 t
100 ln(1.7) = t
