Solve for x.
-The number of bacteria in a culture is given by $B ( t ) = 8000 \left( 2 ^ { t } \right)$, where $t$ is the time in hours. How many bacteria will grow in the culture in the first 8 hours?
A) $2,048,000$
B) 224,000
C) 128,000
D) 80,000

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of bacteria after 8 hours, substitute $t = 8$ into the given formula: $B(8) = 8000 \times 2^8 = 8000 \times 256 = 2,048,000$.

Solve for X B(t)=8000(2t)B ( t ) = 8000 \left( 2 ^ { t } \right)B(t)=8000(2t)

Solve for X $B ( t ) = 8000 \left( 2 ^ { t } \right)$
