You should be familiar with the order of operations before doing these problems.


The population can be modeled by an exponential function


*[tex \LARGE P(t) = 6000e^{kt}] where k is some constant and t is in hours. You know that P(1) = 6200. So solve for k, then find the t such that P(t) = 10000.


By the way, why is the population increasing exponentially when there is a disease?</PRE>
