Respuesta :

after 6 days equation would be and answer
[tex]4^6 = 4096 [/tex]
to represent before 6 days just put 4^5=1024

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Leah is studying a bacteria sample that increases 4 times in mass every day.

Let m(t) represent the mass after t days,

Given that [tex]m(1) = 4[/tex]

Hence initial mass [tex]= m(0) = \frac{4}{4} =1[/tex]

The general equation for m(t) would be

[tex]m(t) = 4^t\\[/tex]

Hence after 6 days the mass of the bacteria

[tex]=4^6\\=4096[/tex] gm
