A quantity N is increasing with respect to time, t. It is increasing in such a way that N = ae^(bt) where a and b are constants. Given when t = 0, N = 20, and t = 8, N = 60, find the value: of a and b, and of dN/dt when t = 12

N = aebt When N = 20, t = 0. We can substitute this in.20 = aeb x 0 ...
