bacteria are the most common example of exponential growth. the table below shows the number of e-coli bacteria that would be present after each hour for the first six hours.

hours: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6
# of bacteria : 16 | 256 | 4,096 | 65,536 | 1,048,576 | 16,777,216

a. explain why this table represents exponential growth.

b. write a rule for this table.

c. determine how many bacteria will be present once 24 hours have passed.

d. suppose you started with 100 bacteria, but they still grew by the same growth factor. how would your rule change? explain your answer.
