Question 1199087

The growth model for a population of bacteria is given by P(t)=35e^2t where t is measured in days. 
What is the initial amount of bacteria in the population?

The correct answer is one of the following.  Which one is correct?

A) 2

B) 35

C) 70

D) 1
<pre>   REGULAR GROWTH/DECAY formula: {{{matrix(1,3, A, "=", A[o]k^t)}}} 

CONTINUOUS GROWTH/DECAY formula: {{{matrix(1,3, A, "=", A[o]e^(kt))}}}, with <font color = red><font size = 4><b>Ao</sub></font></font></b> being the ORIGINAL AMOUNT of substance.

Now, compare and you should have the answer.</pre>
