Colby and Jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. Colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the number of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. Jaquan start with 80 of a different type of bacteria that doubles every 3 hours. Let x equal number of days.( * equals x in this case )Colby’s experiment follows the model:Ⓐ y = 50 • 2*Ⓑ y = 50 • 2⁸*Ⓒ y = 50 • 2¹²*Jaquan’s experiment follows the model:Ⓐ y = 80 • 2*Ⓑ y = 80 • 2⁸*Ⓒ y = 80 • 2¹²*

Question
Answer:
Colby's experiment follows model B.

Jaquan's experiment follows model B as well.

Because they are doubling, you will raise 2 to the power that represents how many times in a 24 hour period It will double.

24÷2 = 12.

24÷3 = 8.
