Question 304396: a lake is 25,000,000 square feet. 1000 square feet of it is covered by a rare plant and every month the plant area doubles in size.
how do i write an equation that represents the growth pattern of the plant?

the doubling is 2^m, where "m" is the number of months

the initial area is 1000, and the max area is 25,000,000

1000(2^m) ≤ 25,000,000
