A bacteria has a doubling period of 9 days. If there are 2550 bacteria present now, how many will there be in 27 days?
To find the number of bacteria in 27 days, we need to use the concept of exponential growth.
The doubling period refers to the time it takes for the population to double in size. In this case, the doubling period is 9 days. This means that every 9 days, the number of bacteria will double.
To calculate the number of bacteria after 27 days, we need to find out how many doubling periods occur within that time frame.
Number of doubling periods = 27 days / 9 days per doubling period = 3 doubling periods
Now, we can use this information to calculate the number of bacteria after 27 days.
Number of bacteria after 27 days = Initial number of bacteria * (2 ^ number of doubling periods)
Plugging in the values, we have:
Number of bacteria after 27 days = 2550 * (2 ^ 3) = 2550 * 8 = 20,400
Therefore, there will be 20,400 bacteria after 27 days.
in 27 days they will double 3 times. So, what is
2550*2*2*2 ?
