The doubling time of a population of flies is 8 hours. By what factor does the population increase in 34 hours? By what factor does the population increase in 1 week ?

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponent is used to signify repeated multiplication. When the population doubles, it is multiplied by 2. The number of times the population has doubled will be an exponent of 2.

In 34 hours, the population will have doubled 34/8 = 4.25 times. The multiplier is 2 with an exponent of 4.25:

 factor = 2^4.25 ≈ 19.027

__

The population will double 24/8 = 3 times each day. After 7 days, the population will have doubled 7×3 = 21 times. The multiplication factor is ...

  factor = 2^21 = 2,097,152
