If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 9 hours and there is currently apopulation of 10,000 bacteria, what will the population be 18 hours from now?

Respuesta :

After 9 hours, the population of the bacteria will be twice the initial population, it means:

[tex]2\cdot10000=20000[/tex]

After other 9 hours, the population will be two times 20000, it means:

[tex]2\cdot10000=40000[/tex]

According to this, after 18 hours the population of the bacteria will be 40000.
