If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 10 hours and there is currently a population of 300 bacteria, what will the population be 20 hours from now?

1200 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

20 hours divided by 10 hours = 2, so it will be doubled two times.

300 times 2 for the first doubling = 600

600 times 2 for the second doubling = 1200

true

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
