Colby and jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. Colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the num
ber of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. Jaquan starts with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours.
Let x equal number of days.
Colby’s experiment follows the model:
1) y=50*2^x
2) y=50*2^8x
3) y=50*2^12x
Jaquan’s experiment follows the model:
1) y=80*2x
2) y=80*2^8x
3) y=80*2^12x

1 answer:
Answer:
3) y = 50 * 2¹²ˣ
2) y = 80 * 2⁸ˣ
Step-by-step explanation:
1 day = 24 hours
Number of 2-hour periods in 1 day = 24 ÷ 2 = 12
Number of 3-hour periods in 1 day = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
Colby's experiment:
y = 50 * 2¹²ˣ
Jaquan's experiment:
y = 80 * 2⁸ˣ

72/8 = 9
“/“ means division by the way.
Answer: x =168
Step-by-step explanation:I think it would be 80 plus 88 so its 168.
I think it’s D
