Question 103087: Suppose a cell divides one time each minute. The number of cells over time:
TIME{MINUTES} 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
NUMBER OF CELLS 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
What is an algebraic expression for the number of cells in terms of the time t?
What is a numeric expression for the number of cells in terms of the time?----number of cells after 1 minute {2=?}, number after 2 minutes {4=?}, number of cells after 3 minutes {8=?}
