Question

How many days to the nearest day would it take for the bacteria cells count to be 24000

A test-tube has a blood sample with 300 bacteria present. The bacteria cells will
double in population every 5 days if they are uncontrolled, as shown in the table
below.
Number of Days
Cell Population
300
600
10
1200
15
2400
20
4800
25
9600
These data can be modelled by a exponential regression function in the form
C = a b
