\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Size doubles every half-hour.
\n" ); document.write( "\"N=N%5Bo%5D2%5Ex\", using x for \"1%2F2\" hour periods.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=2 periods, t=1 hour;
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%282x=t%29\"------you want this to make sense.
\n" ); document.write( "One hour is two periods.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note, the N equation is initially formed using x.
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x...
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=t%2F2%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, rewrite the N equation using time as t.
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28N=N%5Bo%5D2%5E%28t%2F2%29%29\".
