Answer:
[tex]p(t)=800(4^{t})[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial population of bacteria is 800 and we know that this number is quadrupling every hour.
We're going to find a function p in terms of t (time) that gives us the population of bacteria at that time. (t is in hours)
This kind of formulas are written as (initial population)(growth radio)^time
Since the population is quadrupling every hour the function in terms of t (where t is expressed in hours) would be:
[tex]p(t)=800(4^{t})[/tex]
