The accompanying table shows the number of bacteria present in a certain culture over a 4 hour period, where x is the time, in hours, and y is the number of
bacteria. Write an exponential regression equation for this set of data, rounding all
coefficients to the nearest thousandth. Using this equation, determine the number of
bacteria present after 11 hours, to the nearest whole number.
