Question 256916: The number of bacteria p in a pond after t hours is p(t). The more bacteria there are, the more rapidly the number increases. This is expressed by the equation p'(t)= 2p(t) . Find the most general exponential function of the form A*e^Kt which satisfies the equation. (A and K are constants. Hint: substitute this function into the equation and see what you get).
p(t)=
If there were 1500 bacteria at t=0, how many are there 2 hours later?
p(2)=
