The number N of bacteria in a culture at time t (in hours) grows exponentially according to the function N(t) = 1000e^0.01t.

1.What is the population after 4 hours?
2.When will the number of bacteria reach 1700?
3. When will the number of bacteria double?

Please help and show all work

  1. Surely you can just plug in your numbers.

    #1: N(4) = 1000*e^.04
    #2: 1000*e^.01t = 1700
    #3 e^.01t = 2
