A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 29000 bacteria and doubles every 3 hours. Using the formula P_t = P_0\cdot 2^{\frac{t}{d}}Pt=P0⋅2dt, where P_tPt is the population after t hours, P_0P0 is the initial population, t is the time in hours and d is the doubling time, what is the population of bacteria in the culture after 19 hours, to the nearest whole number?
