Question 1007171: Solve the given problem related to population growth.
The number of bacteria
N(t)
present in a culture at time t hours is given by
N(t) = 2500(2)^t.
Find the number of bacteria when
t = 0 hours
and
t = 4 hours.
(a) t = 0 hours

bacteria
(b) t = 4 hours

bacteria

Given the growth equation

we merely plug in the various values for t and get
N(0) = 2500*2^0 = 2500 bacteria
N(4) = 2500*2^4 = 40000 bacteria
