Hi,

A size P of a certain insect population at time ( in days) is given by the function: 

P%28t%29=+500e%5E%280.02t%29

determine the number of insects after 2 weeks  ( 14 days )

P%2814%29=+500e%5E%280.02%2A14%29

P+%2814%29=+500e%5E%280.28%29   |Use Calculator and round answer as directed

A size P of a certain insect population at time (in days) is given by the function:
P (t)= 500e^(0.02t)
----------------------------------
determine the number of insects after 2 weeks
P(14 days) = 500*e^(0.02*14)
= 500*1.3231

= 661.56
