-(6)^-1
A lab is growing bacteria in a culture dish. The amount of bacteria in the dish doubles every 3 hours. Initially, there are 500 bacteria in the dish. How many are in the dish after 9 hours?
Determine if the number is written in scientific notation. If not, explain 5.6x10^12.
Determine if the number is written in scientific notation. If not, explain 2.01x10^-5.
Simplify (5)^-5(5)^7

1500 bacteria in the dish

Are you sure the amount doubled doesn't double each time @lakotareid1232

anonymous · Answer

it doubles every three hours so it doubled three times 500 X 3 = 1500

anonymous · Answer

but 500 doubled is 1,000 and 1,000 doubled is 2,000 and 2,000 doubled is 4,000 because it doubled every 3 hours so wouldn't the amount in the dish double each time @lakotareid1232
