The function B(t) = 300(2)t
gives the number of bacteria after t
hours. How many bacteria exist after 5 hours? (1 point)
Responses
To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we can substitute t = 5 into the function B(t).
B(5) = 300(2)5
B(5) = 300(2^5)
B(5) = 300 * 32
B(5) = 9600
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, we can substitute t=5 into the function B(t) and evaluate it.
B(5) = 300(2)^5
= 300 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
= 300 * 32
= 9600
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
To find the number of bacteria after 5 hours, you need to substitute t = 5 into the function B(t) = 300(2)^t and calculate the result.
Plug in t = 5:
B(5) = 300(2)^5
Simplify the exponent:
B(5) = 300(32)
Multiply:
B(5) = 9600
Therefore, there are 9600 bacteria after 5 hours.
