i neeed this quickkk :( A population of bacteria is growing according to the function below, where t is in hours. How many hours will it take for the population to grow to 6,000 bacteria? Round your answer to the nearest integer. Do not include units in your answer. B(t) = 20 e2.6^t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B(t)=20*e2.6^t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SOORRY sooo many typos this is the correct equation .. B(t)=20*e^2.5t

OpenStudy (ankit042):

This is simple just put B(t) = 6000 in the equation and solve for t

what about the e? what si that?

OpenStudy (fifciol):

\[6000=20e^{2,5t}\] e is mathematical constant (2,71...)
