The count of bacteria in a culture is 10 and doubles every 20 minutes. Find the population size after 11 hours. Can someone explain how to solve this?

Since you asked how to solve this, I will put the answer at the bottom.

You might not think the same way as I but I think in steps.

The bacteria divide every 20 minutes, and will therefore divide three times every hour, 60/20 = 3.

If the bacteria grow for eleven hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 11 hours = 33 times.

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b

t hope this
