A culture contains 2000 bacteria initially and doubles every 40 minutes. Assuming that the rate of growth is proportional to the number of bacteria, find a function that models the number P(t) of bacteria after t minutes. P(t) = A ekt = B( 2t/c), where A = B = Find the time T that it will take for the culture to reach 7000 bacteria? T = minutes
