A. Suppose you start with one single bacterium. Make a table of values showing
the number of bacteria that will be present after each hour for the first six
hours. Then determine how many bacteria will be present once 24 hours
have passed.
b. Explain why this table represents exponential growth.
c. Using this example, explain why any nonzero number raised to a power
of zero is equal to one.
d. Write a rule for this table.
e. Suppose you started with 100 bacteria, but they still grew by the same
growth factor. How would your rule change? Explain your answer.
