Question
Byron bought some bananas at the store and noticed some fruit flies after returning home. The number of fruit flies can be modeled by the equation f(t) = 8(2)t where f is the number of fruit flies after t days.

It seems like there might be a small error in the equation you provided for the number of fruit flies. It appears to be missing a multiplication operator or a clarification about the representation of time. Typically, the equation should look something like this:
\[ f(t) = 8(2^t) \]
This means that the number of fruit flies doubles every day, starting with 8 on day 0.
To clarify:
- \( f(t) \) is the number of fruit flies after \( t \) days.
- The initial count of fruit flies is 8 when \( t = 0 \).
- Each day, the number of fruit flies doubles.
