Answer:

$p(t)=800(4^{t})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial population of bacteria is 800 and we know that this number is quadrupling every hour.

We're going to find a function p in terms of t (time) that gives us the population of bacteria at that time. (t is in hours)

This kind of formulas are written as (initial population)(growth radio)^time

Since the population is quadrupling every hour the function in terms of t (where t is expressed in hours) would be:

$p(t)=800(4^{t})$
