A bacteria population is 3000 at time t = 0 and its rate of growth is 1000 · 8t bacteria per hour after t hours.

What is the population after one hour? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

P=3000x e^ (1000 x 8t) is the function

t is time, so "after a hour" means that the t is 1.

The problem is asking for the population, which is P

Substitute t for 1 and you obtain:

P = 3000 x e^ (1000 x 8 x 1)

P=3000e^8000
