6) If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 210 minutes and the population is currently 8,000 bacteria, what will the population be in 630 minutes and is it modeled by a linear function or an exponential function?

since 630 divided by 210 is 3, you would need to multiply 8,000 by 3. that equals 24,000 bacteria
