The number of bacteria, B, in a culture is modelled by B=pe3t+q, where p and q are constants and t is the time in hours. Initially there are 500 bacteria, and after 2 hours there are 3500 bacteria. Find the values of p and q.
p=e6−13000,q=500−e6−13000
p=e3−13000,q=500−e3−13000
p=e6−1500,q=3000−e6−1500
p=e6−13500,q=500
