Question

The cells of a bacteria double itself every hour. How many cells will there be after 12 hour. If initially we start with 1 cell? Express in powers.
Solve with steps correct anwer brainly will be given.

Answer 1

Given Initially there is 1 cell.

Given that the cells of a bacteria double itself every hour = 1 + 1

                                                                                                 = 2.

                                                                                                 $= 2^{1}$


Therefore the total number of cells in 12 hours :

$2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1} * 2^{1}* 2^{1}$

$= 2^{1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1}$

$= 2^{12}$


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

SOLUTION=

【First solution is there in the picture】

In 1 hour a cell doubles= 2 cells in one hour

In 12 hours how many cells= 2 to the power 12

= 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2

= 8×8×8×8

= 64×64

= 3996
