Answer:

  • f(x) = 50000*2^x
  • 3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Initial amount of bacteria = 50000
  • Growth rate = 2 times a day

<u>Required equation:</u>

  • f(x) = 50000*2^x

<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

svp [43]
11.05 inches.

Now since there is 17 mins, simply do 0.65 inches per min x 17 mins.

11.05 inches.

Hope this helps!
