The population of bacteria in a certain culture can be modeled by the function p(t)=1(1.03)^t. what is the initial population of bacteria in the culture?

10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the function that shows the population of bacteria after t years is,

Initially, time = 0

That is, t = 0 year,

Thus, for 0 year the number of bacteria,

⇒

Hence, the initial population of the bacteria is 10000.
