If they are growing 80% for every twodays, it would be 40% for every one day.
Bacteria after 9 days = 212 * 9 * 40 / 100
= 763.2
To round up, the population of bacteria after 9 days would be 763, with a growth rate of 80% for every two days.

Answer: 42</h3>
Explanation:
We have y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250 which is in the form y = ax^2+bx+c
where,
The vertex (h,k) is when the profit is maxed out.
h = -b/(2a)
h = -76/(2(-0.9))
h = 42.222 approximately
Let's plug in x values around x = 42
Try x = 41
y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250
y = -0.9(41)^2 + 76(41) - 250
y = 1353.10
Now try x = 42
y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250
y = -0.9(42)^2 + 76(42) - 250
y = 1354.4
Now try x = 43
y = -0.9x^2 + 76x - 250
y = -0.9(43)^2 + 76(43) - 250
y = 1353.9
We see that the largest profit happens when x = 42.
