Each bacterium in a petri dish splits into 2 bacteria after one day. The function b(d) = 600 • 24 models

the number of bacteria, b, in the petri dish after d days.

Part A)

What is the initial number of bacteria in the petri dish?

Part B)

How many bacteria will be in the petri dish after 5 days?

(a)Initial Number of Bacteria=600

(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an initial number   of bacteria in a petri dish, and each bacteria splits into 2 bacteria after one day.

The function models  the number of bacteria, b after d days.

Part A

Given  

When d=0,

The initial number of bacteria in the petri dish,

Part B

After 5 days, when d=5

70

step-by-step explanation:

2*5=10

4*15=60

60+10=

70
