A biologist is studying a bacteria population that initially contains 10^3 bacteria. In the lab, the population doubles every week. The expression 10^3×2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks. How many bacteria will be present in 3 weeks? CK12
correct answer:
a + bi
8000
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the expression 10³ × 2^w models the population of the bacteria after w weeks.
The number of bacteria that will be present in 3 weeks will then be:
= 10³ × 2^w
= 10³ × 2³
= 1000 × 8
= 8000 bacterias
where are the options?
