One way to express exponential form is to use

y = a*b^x

where 'a' is the initial value and 'b' is linked to the growth rate.

Since we're told 34 bees are there initially, we know a = 34.

Then after 4 days, we have 48 bees. So we can say,

y = a*b^x

y = 34*b^x

48 = 34*b^4

48/34 = b^4

24/17 = b^4

b^4 = 24/17

b = (24/17)^(1/4)

b = 1.090035

Which is approximate.

The function updates to

y = a*b^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

As a way to check to see if we have the right function, plug in x = 0 and we find:

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^0

y = 34*(1)

y = 34

So there are 34 bees on day 0, ie the starting day.

Plug in x = 4

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^4

y = 34*1.4117629

y = 47.9999386

Due to rounding error we don't land on 48 exactly, but we can round to this value.

We see that after 4 days, there are 48 bees.

So we confirmed the correct exponential function.

At this point we can find out how many bees there are expected to be after 20 days.

Plug in x = 20 to get

y = 34*(1.090035)^x

y = 34*(1.090035)^20

y = 190.672374978452

Round to the nearest whole number to get 191.

There are expected to be roughly 191 bees on day 20.
