An algae infection in a swimming pool is growing

An algae infection in a swimming pool is growing exponentially, and can be modelled by the function N(t) = 340.8 0.79t where t represents the time in days since the infection began, and N represents the total number of algae in the pool. How many algae will be in the pool in 3 days? Round to the nearest whole algae. According to the model, how many algae were in the pool to start the initial infection? Write the specific equation that can be solved to determine how long it will take the algae bloom to reach 900,000 algae.
