Question 195456This question is from textbook
: A cell divides into two identical copies every 4 minutes. How many cells will exist after 5 hours? Here is the answer, Could you be more specific? A(0) represents the number of what at time = 0? A(300) represents the value of what after 5 hours?
Thanks
Growth Formula
A(t)=Ao(2)^(t4) where t is the number of minutes after t=0
A(300)= 1*2^(300/4)
A(300)=2^(75)
A(300)= 3.77x10^22 cells This question is from textbook

A(300)= 3.77x10^22 cells
--------------
A(300) is the # of cells present after 300 minutes, or 5 hours.
