Question

Leah is studying a bacteria sample that increases 4 times in mass every day. At the end of day 1 of her study, the sample has a mass of 4 milligrams. What is the mass of the bacteria sample after 6 days of study? Write each expression in the correct column of the table.
PLEASE HELP SERIOUSLY!! 8th grade math

Answer 1

After 6 days equation would be and answer
$4^6 = 4096$
to represent before 6 days just put 4^5=1024

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Leah is studying a bacteria sample that increases 4 times in mass every day.

Let m(t) represent the mass after t days,

Given that $m(1) = 4$

Hence initial mass $= m(0) = \frac{4}{4} =1$

The general equation for m(t) would be

$m(t) = 4^t$

Hence after 6 days the mass of the bacteria

$=4^6\\=4096$ gm
