Use this information to complete the table.
Which is the first day, after the antibiotic is given, that the bacteria population is more than 1,000,000 ?
Write an equation relating p, the bacteria population, to d, the number of days since it was first measured.

Day 8 it is 1,280,000 which is more than 100,000. So day 8 is the first day, after the antibiotic is given, the population is more than 100,000.

p = 5 \cdot 2^{d} is the equation which shows the bacterial population, p, in d number of days.
