On the first day of summer there were two crickets in the garden every day after that the number of cricket doubled. a) write an equation that expresses the relationship between the days and the number of crickets explain what each variable represents
----
1st day:: 2
2nd day:: 2*2 = 2^2
3rd day:: 2*2^2 = 2^3
xth day:: 2*2^(x-1) = 2^x
----
Equation: y = 2^x
# of days is x
# of crickets is y
