The model is a function of time t
A(t) is the amount we have after time t
• P is the initial amount, because for t = 0, notice how A(0) = Peºt = Peº = P
•r is the growth or decay rate. It is positive for growth and negative for decay

Growth and decay problems can deal with money (interest compounded continuously), bacteria growth, radioactive decay,
population growth etc. So A(t) can represent any of these depending on the problem.
The growth of a certain bacteria population can be modeled by the function
A(t) = 350e0.0712t
where A(t) is the number of bacteria and t represents the time in minutes.
a. What is the initial number of bacteria?
b. What is the number of bacteria after 10 minutes?
