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)
To find the value for A(8), we plug in 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 value for A(8) is 24.
