SOLUTION: An initial population of 280 fish is introduced into a lake. This fish population grows according to a continuous exponential growth model. There are 588 fish in the lake after 8

Question 1190046: An initial population of 280 fish is introduced into a lake. This fish population grows according to a continuous exponential growth
model. There are 588 fish in the lake after 8 years.
(a) Let t be the time (in years) since the initial population is introduced,
and let y be the number of fish at time t.
Write a formula relating y to t. Use exact expressions to fill in the missing parts of the formula. Do not use approximations.
(b) How many fish are there 19 years after the initial population is
introduced? Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your
answer to the nearest whole number.
