How many people will become zombies after 11 minutes?

Question

Strain B

The equation you entered to model this strain is:

"y" equals 2 Superscript, "x" , Baseline
y=2x

Using this model or the table, or the graph, determine how many people would be infected in 11 minutes.

Math Input:
Minutes
Number of Zombies
Math Input:

Answer 1

To determine how many people will become zombies after 11 minutes using the model you provided, where the equation is \( y = 2^x \), we can simply substitute \( x = 11 \) into the equation.

Calculating this gives:

\[ y = 2^{11} \]

Now we compute \( 2^{11} \):

\[ 2^{11} = 2048 \]

So, after 11 minutes, there would be 2048 zombies (or infected people) according to the model you've described.
