A certain type of bacteria grows according to the function P(t)= 1200e^0.1792t

Question

where P is the number of bacteria present after t hours. Find the number of bacteria after 6 hours. enter the answer as an integer. round to the nearest whole unit if needed.

Answer 1

P(t)= 1200e^0.1792t

plugging in the data we obtain:

P(t)= 1200*e^(0.1792*6)

P(t) = 3516.69 ≅ 3517 bacteriae
