Lin counts 5 bacteria under a microscope. She counts them again each day for four days, and finds that the number of bacteria doubled each day-from 5 to 10, then from 10 to 20, and so on. Is the population of bacteria a function of the number of days? If so, is it linear? Explain your reasoning.

Ответ:
The population of bacteria can be expressed as a function of number of days.
Population =
where n is the number of days since the beginning.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of bacteria on the first day=![\[5 * 2^{0} = 5\]](/tpl/images/0521/3210/76b0b.png)
Number of bacteria on the second day =![\[5 * 2^{1} = 10\]](/tpl/images/0521/3210/c504e.png)
Number of bacteria on the third day =![\[5*2^{2} = 20\]](/tpl/images/0521/3210/1bac1.png)
Number of bacteria on the fourth day =![\[5*2^{3} = 40\]](/tpl/images/0521/3210/c8eb6.png)
As we can see , the number of bacteria on any given day is a function of the number of days n.
This expression can be expressed generally as
where n is the number of days since the beginning.
