A small bacterial colony currently contains 500 cells. Biologists observe that the population increases by 10% every 4 hours.

Which function models the population P of the colony after t hours?

  1. P(t) = 500(0.10)^t/4
  2. P(t) = 500(1.10)^t/4
  3. P(t) = 500(1.10)^4t
  4. P(t) = 500 + 0.10(t/4)
