Question

An alien blob started with a mass of 19 kg and is doubling in size every day. How large will the blob be after 2 weeks? y= a(b).​

Answer 1

The blob will grow 215 kg in 2 weeks.

Explanation:

As an alien blob started with a mass of 19 kg and is doubling in size every day.

Thus, we can use the equation

• y = x² + 19

where x is the number of days and y is the mass size of the alien blob

as

• 2 weeks = 14 days

so plugin x = 14 to determine the size of the blob after two weeks

Thus,

y = x² + 19

y = (14)² + 19

y = 215 kg

Thus, the blob will grow 215 kg in 2 weeks.
