Question

if you started with one bacteria cell, give an approximate time frame for how long it would take to multiply into 1024 bacteria

Answer 1

Well, suppose it takes time \(t\) to double. We'd say: \[
1024 = 2^t
\]Since \[
1024 = 2^{10}
\]That means it \(t=10\).

So it has to double ten times. This means it would take \(10t\) amount of time.

Answer 2

You have no information about the growth rate.
