Question

3.1 Lesson 4 #1. The population of cyanobacteria in a pond is modeled by the

function below, with t representing hours. After approximately how many hours
will this population reach 30,000 cyanobacteria?
P = 17,500e^.017t

Answer 1

30000=17500e^0.017t

e^0.017t=1.76

㏑1.76=0.017t

0.56=0.017t

t=33hours
