In a lab, a scientist is growing bacteria for a study. The scientist begins with a bacteria population of b cells. She discovers that after 3 hours, the population of bacteria is
b
2
cells. Three hours later, the bacteria population is b
3
cells. If the population of the
bacteria after these 6 hours is one thousand cells, what was the population at the
start? Explain how you found your answer

i would say b) is your answer

sorry if im wrong

step-by-step explanation:

answer: y = 3/2 x - 3

y = 1/8 x - 3/4 that would be your correct option

step-by-step explanation: w

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

x

=240

=48
