The number of bacteria in a certain population is predicted to increase according to a continuous exponential growth model, at a relative rate of 9% per hour. Suppose that a sample culture has an initial population of 275 bacteria. Find the predicted population after six hours. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth. bacteria
