Question 1131408: Today there are 300 bees in a colony. The population of the colony grows exponentially, doubling every 11 days.
How many bees would be in the colony in 11,22, and 33 days?
What is a formula that can express the population (p) as an exponential function of the elapsed time (d) days
Using said formula, how many bees would there be in twenty days from today?
