Suppose the rate of growth of bacteria in a Petri dish is

Suppose the rate of growth of bacteria in a Petri dish is given by q(t) = 6ᵗ, where t is given in hours and g(t) is given in thousands of bacteria per hour. If a culture starts with 7000 bacteria, find a function Q(t) that gives the number of bacteria in the Petri dish at any time t. How many bacteria are in the dish after 5 hours? You should round your answer to the nearest whole number. Do not include any commas in your final answer (if applicable).
