Can you please answer the attached problem. Thanks.

A bacteria is growing according to the function \( W(t) = \frac{1.3}{1 + 0.3e^{-4t}} \) for \( t \geq 0 \), where \( W(t) \) is the weight of the culture in ounces and \( t \) is in hours. Find the weight of the culture after 0 hours, 2 hours, and 8 hours. What is the limit as \( t \) approaches infinity?
