Question 1174327: The number of bacteria in colony A after t hours is modeled by the function
A(t)=12e^0.4t.
The number of bacteria in colony B after t hours is modeled by the function B(t)= 24e^kt. After four hours there are 60 bacteria in colony B.
Question: The number of bacteria in colony first exceeds the number of bacteria in colony B after n hours. Find the value of n.
