Question

Size of population P P(t)=500e^(.02t)
explain to me how to do it

Answer 1

What exactly are you trying to do with this?

Answer 2

solve for p(t)

Answer 3

The equation you gave is already in P(t)= form. It's equal to 500e^(.02t)

Answer 4

after 12 days...

Answer 5

whats the population

Answer 6

Ok. We need to plug in 12 for the t. So we'll get:
\[P=500e^{.02\times12}\]
\[P=500e^{.24}\] Either you could leave your answer in this form, or evaluate it by plugging it into your calculator, and you would get
\[P=635.62\]
