Answer:
b(t) = 36000·e^(0.12t)
Explanation:
Continuous growth at a rate of r per time period is modeled by the exponential multiplier e^(rt), where t is the number of time periods. This value multiplies the initial amount (at t=0). In this case, the model would be ...
b(t) = 36000·e^(0.12t)
where b(t) is the number of bacteria in the colony after t time periods.
