A population of bacteria in a culture increases according to the model P(t) = 725 e .023t where t is measured in hours and t = 0 corresponds to 7:00 am.
i) Use this model to estimate the number of bacteria at 8:30 am.
ii) Use this model to estimate the number of bacteria at 9:00 pm.
iii) Sketch the graph of P for 0 < t < 20.
