Question

The population of a certain species of bacteria doubles every hour. Use the following

Answer 1

Answer:

The bacteria will grow from 1 to 1024 in 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P_0 = 1

P = 1024

We have to find time

Putting values in the formula

$P = P_0(2)^t\\1024=(1)(2)^t$

Anything multiplied with 1 remains the same

$1024=2^t\\2^{10} = 2^t$

Using the property "when bases are same, the exponents can be put equivalent"

t = 10 hours

Therefore, the bacteria will grow from 1 to 1024 in 10 hours ..
