6. A population of 200 bacteria has the perfect conditions to double every 20 min. How
many bacteria will there be after each
amount of time?
a) 20 min
b) 60 min
c) 4 h

pls explain too!! ty​

Y = 200 x 2(x)

y = 200 x 2(20)
y = 200 x 40
a) 8,000

y = 200 x 2(60)
y = 200 x 120
b) 24,000

y = 200 x 2(240) 240min in 4 hours
y = 200 x 480
c) 96,000

You basically just set up an equation and plug in the amount of time

I hope this helps but I’m sorry if it’s incorrect

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
