The number of bugs doubles every 4 days. If the bug population starts with 6 bugs, then the equation A(t)=6(2)0.25t
can represent the number of bugs. Find the value for A(8)
.(1 point)
The number of bugs after 8 days is
The equation A(t) = 6(2)^(0.25t) represents the number of bugs after t days.
To find the number of bugs after 8 days, we need to substitute t = 8 into the equation:
A(8) = 6(2)^(0.25*8)
A(8) = 6(2)^2
A(8) = 6(4)
A(8) = 24
Therefore, the number of bugs after 8 days is 24.
