Suppose that the number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to acontinuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate parameter of16 %

per hour. Suppose also that a sample culture of1700 bacteria is obtained from this population. Find the size of the sample after two hours. Round your answer to the nearest integer.

Note:This is acontinuousexponential growth model.

And though the growth rateparameteris16%per hour, the actual growth isnot16%

each hour.
