Answer:

2 Sig Figs

Step-by-step explanation:

6 is a significant number (a non-zero). It counts as one sig fig.

Any zero after the decimal is significant. It also counts as one sig fig.

One sig fig + one sig fig = 2 sig figs.

Answer:

k = 0.032
P0 = 131.836

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you want to use the points (t, P) = (4, 150) and (6, 160) to find the parameters P0 and k in the equation ...

$P(t)=P_0\cdot e^{kt}$

We know from the given points that we can write the equation as ...

$P(t)=150\left(\dfrac{160}{150}\right)^{(t-4)/(6-4)}=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{t}{2}-2}\\\\=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\times\left(\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^t$

Comparing this to the desired form, we see that ...

$P_0=150\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{-2}\approx 131.836\\\\e^{k}=\left(\dfrac{16}{15}\right)^{1/2}\rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2}(\ln{16}-\ln{15})\approx 0.0322693$
