Using an exponential function, it is found that the colony will have 1344 bacteria after 8 days.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

In which:
- A(0) is the initial value.
- r is the decay rate, as a decimal.
Considering the initial amount of 150, and the growth rate of 73% each 2 days, the equation is given by:

Hence, after 8 days, the amount of bacteria is given by:
