    a) 2∧6 c) 64

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First day-Monday we have 2 bacteria, at Tuesday we have 2 · 2 = 2∧2, at Wednesday we have 2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧3, at Thursday we have 2 ·2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧4, at Friday we have 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧5 and finally at Saturday we have 2 · 2 · 2 ·2 · 2 · 2 = 2∧6 = 64

    Good luck!
