Consider the function for cell duplication. The cells duplicate every minute.
f(x) = 54(2)*
What do the values of 54 and 2 represent in relation to the duplication of these cells?
a) The 54 is the initial number of cells, and the 2 indicates the number of cells doubles every minute.
b) The 54 is the initial number of cells, and the 2 indicates the number of cells increases by 2 every minute.
c) The 54 is the number of cells at 1 minute, and the 2 indications the number of cells doubles every minute.
d) The 54 is the number of cells at 1 minute, and the 2 indications the number of cells increases by 2 every minute.
