1,5 one and a half cups of blueberry jam
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- Initial amount of bacteria = 50000
- Growth rate = 2 times a day
<u>Required equation:</u>
<u>Solve for x:</u>
- 400000 = 50000*2^x
- 2^x = 400000/50000
- 2^x = 8
- 2^x = 2^3
- x = 3
After 3 days bacteria numbers will reach 400000
The general form of the geometric sequence is

, where a sub n is the number term you're looking for (we're looking for the tenth term). a sub 1 is the first term in the sequence (ours is -6), r is the common ratio, and n-1 is the numbered term you're looking for minus 1. Our formula then looks like this:

. Simplify it to

. Take 2 to the 9th power then multiply it by -6 to get -3072. C is your answer.
