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?

The answer would be 24,000 divide 8000 by 210 then multiply it by 630 which hence gives you 24,000
