Given two points for an exponential function, 1. Use the two points to find the growth rate, k . Write an exponential model for each point, then solve this system of two equations for k . 2. Use either point with the k you found to find the initial amount at time zero, \( \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{o}} \). 3. Doubling time is when the amount is \( 2^{*} \mathrm{~A}_{\mathrm{o}} \). 4. Use the values of k and \( \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{o}} \) to calculate the amount for a given time or to find the time to reach a specific amount in the future. The count in a bacteria culture was 600 after 20 minutes and 1900 after 30 minutes. Assuming the count grows exponentially. You may enter the exact value or round to 2 decimal places. What was the initial size of the culture? Find the doubling period. Find the population after 105 minutes. When will the population reach 14000 .
