At noon, to begin a study, a petri dish had 3000 bacteria cells. The number of cells in the petri dish is increasing at a continuous rate of 4% per hour. If t is the number of hours since the start of the study and f(t) is the number of bacteria cells, write continuous exponential function expressing the relationship between f(t) and t. Of(t)=3000e-04t f(t)=3000(0.96)t f(t)=3000et f(t)=3000(.004)

Jerome invests $18,000 at age 17. He hopes the investments will be worth $30,000 when he turns 26. If the interest compounds continuously, approximately what rate of growth will he need to achieve his goal? Is that a reasonable expectation?
