The population of a species of plant in a field is modelled using the formula P=50e0.1tP = 50e^{0.1t}P=50e0.1t where t t\,t is the number of weeks since the population was first recorded.
Write down the number of plants when the population was first recorded.
Find the rate of increase in the population 10 weeks after the population was first recorded.
Find the first whole number of weeks after which the number of plants exceeds 300.
