Word problem: The number of bacteria N in a culture is given by the model N = 250e^kt, where t is the time (in hours), with t= 0 corresponding to the time when N = 250. When t = 10, there are 280 bacteria. How long does it take the bacteria population to double in size? To triple in size?
I just don't get it! I think the e^k is hanging me up. Will you please help me get started? :?
