Bacteria can multiply at alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two new cells , thus doubling. If we start with only one bacteria which can double every hour , how many bacteria will have by the end of one day?

Answer 1

furmula for 24*2
48

Answer 2

Since the bacteria is doubling every hour, it won't be multiplying by 2. So 24 times 2 won't be the formula.

Instead you would square it. doubles so 2^24.
