E. coil bacteria double in population every thirty minutes. If the initial population is 85, what is the population of bacteria after three hours? And a day?

After 3 hours: 5440 After a day: 2.3925x10^16

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 85(2)^t

t = 30 minutes

three hours

y=85(2)^6

y=85(64)

y=5440

a day

y=85(2)^48

y≈85(2.8147x10^14)

y≈2.3925x10^16

step-by-step explanation:

yes it represnts a functio, their are not 2 of the same numbers on the both sides
