Answer:

a) 2∧6    c) 64

Step-by-step explanation:

First day-Monday we have 2 bacteria, at Tuesday we have 2 · 2 = 2∧2, at Wednesday we have 2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧3, at Thursday we have 2 ·2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧4, at Friday we have 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧5 and finally at Saturday we have 2 · 2 · 2 ·2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧6 = 64

Good luck!!!

Explanation And Answer:

Hi! I hope this helps! :)

I saw someone already answered A and C, so you can check that out. :)

For the question, "What is the total bacteria in simplified form?":

You can change it by doing 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64.

For A and B, like the other person said:

A: 2^6

C: 64

You can check out their explanation down below/above, since I don't want to copy their response. Hope this helped!! :D
