A colony of 300 bacteria doubles in size every 22 minutes can be represented by the exponential function y=300(2)x. If you want to know how many bacteria will be present about 66 minutes, what should you plug in for x?

Where x represent the number of period of times of 22 minutes. If we want to know the value of the population after 66 minutes we need to find the value of x on this way:

So then we need to replace the value of x =3 and we got:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following function:

Where x represent the number of period of times of 22 minutes. If we want to know the value of the population after 66 minutes we need to find the value of x on this way:

So then we need to replace the value of x =3 and we got:
