Quick comprehension check
“A population of bacteria is modeled by P(t) = 1000 × 2^(t/3), where t is the time in hours. Find the population after 6 hours. The value of a car depreciates according to the model V(t) = 25000 × (0.8)^t, where t is the number of years since it was purchased. Find the value of the car after 2 years. ”
