What is the size of the population after 1 minute?

Question

Under a set of controlled laboratory conditions, the size of the population P of a certain bacteria culture

at time t (in seconds) is given by the function

P(t) = 3t² + 3e^t + 10, t ≥ 0

Answer 1

This is actually just asking you to calculate some algebra - we have an equation for size of population! So the size of the population after 1 minute will be P(60).
