The population of bacteria in a certain culture can be modeled by the function P(t)=10000(1.03)^t. Is the population of bacteria
increasing or decreasing? Explain

Answer:
The population of bacteria is increasing.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function modelling the population of bacteria in the given culture is an exponential function; We have a base 1.03 and an exponent t. An exponential function is said to be increasing if the base is strictly greater than 1, this implies that the population of the bacteria is increasing as t increases from 0 to infinity.
