The point (4,y) has a known x coordinate of x = 4. The y coordinate is unknown right now so we'll just call it y.
Draw a vertical line (see side note below) through 4 on the x axis. I've done so in red (see attached image). The red line crosses the graph at the point (4,1) so this tells us that y = 1
Answer: y = 1
Side Note: you don't have to draw a vertical red line but it's handy to see how it works out. After you get used to these types of problems, you can visually be able to see the answer without these extra lines.

Answer:
<em>It will take 26.34 minutes for the population to reach 5 times its initial value</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growing</u>
The population of bacteria grows at a rate expressed by the equation:
Where t is in minutes.
We need to know when the population will reach 5 times its initial value. The initial value can be determined by setting t=0:
Now we find the time when the population is 5*256=1,280. The equation to solve is:
Dividing by 256:
Taking natural logarithms:
Applying the logarithm properties:
Solving for t:
It will take 26.34 minutes for the population to reach 5 times its initial value
